A lovely pair of figures depicting black and white spaniels sitting on ornate bases.
The two dogs have separately modelled front legs. They sit on intricately modelled rococo bases topped with cobalt cushions.
This lovely true pair presents well. The dogs are particularly nicely decorated and composed.
These figures are in fair complete condition with some small flaws. right-facing figure has three small chips on the (viewer’s) right side of the base, some very small nibbles on the back of the base, and a discreet hairline to the left (back facing) foreleg. The left-facing figure has a chip to the front of the base. Both dogs have some limited flaking.
