A beautifully timeworn pair of antique spelter figures depicting a romantic rural couple: a stoic scythe-wielding farmer and a shepherdess cradling a bundle of wheat. These statues speak of honest work, pastoral rhythms, and simpler times. Cast in spelter with a dark bronze-toned finish, they rest on roughly sculpted bases, each uniquely cracked and worn with age – lending them a haunting, almost mythic beauty.
Each figure has visible flaws and old repairs, most notably to their bases and the woman’s head, which features a small hole likely from a former fitting. Despite the wear (or perhaps because of it), they radiate a powerful old-world charm. Ideal as a sculptural accent on a console, in a cottagecore vignette, or as part of a moody, maximalist interior.
Height: approx. 10.6" / 27 cm
With Cracks to both bases, wear and chipping to paint, hole to top of one figure’s head, scuffs and surface irregularities throughout.
