Pair Antique Nickel-Plated Spelter Cherub Statues on Marble Bases

Price: $1,180

Pair Antique Nickel-Plated Spelter Cherub Statues on Marble Bases depict a young boy and girl celebrating the cherry harvest, rendered in classical form for a truly charming effect!  The young lad is holding out a sprig of freshly picked cherries as a gift to his companion who appears to have a shy reaction.  Each carries an elaborate receptacle strapped on their backs for collecting the fruit, an obvious fanciful affectation of the artist.  The nickel plating has achieved a lovely patina over the decades, and the marble bases show wear but are equally charming in their antiquity.  A wonderful pair that explores both the bounty of the earth and the magic of romance, this item will make a great accent to your decor, or serve equally well as bookends.
