Pair of 19th Century Limoges Monvoisin Porcelain Figurines

Presenting a stunning pair of mid to late 19th century French Limoges Bisque porcelain figurines from circa 1870.

One is of a lady in period dress/attire cradling a Dove. All hand-painted and decorated to the finest quality. The base is marked with the makers initials “C.H.”. She is made of fine bisque porcelain in the Old Paris porcelain style.

The other is of a gentleman set in period dress/attire with a Dove on his shoulder, all hand-painted and decorated, with 24-Karat gold accents, to the finest quality. The base is marked with the makers stamp “Monvoisin”. He is made of fine bisque porcelain in the Old Paris porcelain style.

We believe the maker to be “Abel Monvoisin”.

Repaired: The Gentleman has a very old repair to the rear and base (see bolt in photos). He has also lost what would probably have been a hat in his left hand. The Lady is near mint. Wear consistent with age and use. Minor losses. Minor structural damages. The Gentleman has a very old repair to the rear and base (see bolt in photos). He has also lost what would probably have been a hat in his left hand. The Lady is mint.
