About the Item

A charming and most impressive true pair of French 19th century Cast Iron statues. Each wonderful statue of a cherub seated on a Tortoise is raised on a rectangular Cast Iron base supporting an intricately detailed Tortoise. The statue to the left depicts a young girl seated on the Tortoise with her chin resting on her hand, seemingly in thought, and with her curly hair pinned up and into a bun. The young boy to the right is displayed in a similar seated position, with his head rest on his hand, while wearing a horned helmet. Each most impressive Tortoise is gazing upward towards their handler, while showcasing exceptionally detailed shells, legs and tails. Wonderful detail and proportions throughout.
