    Description

    Pair of Antique Art Nouveau patinated white metal ( spelter ) figures.
    Italy , circa 1925.
    This is a PRETTY Pair of ANTIQUE white metal ( spelter ) statues.
    Totally in the Art Nouveau taste and period.
    Each one is titled, one is PAPILLON and the other is LIBELLULE.
    Both done after the famous Italian sculptor F.Flora ( Francesco Flora , born 1857 ).
    The one titled Libellule, depicting a woman, nicely dressed in the Art Nouveau style, holding a Dragonfly ( Libellule ) in her right hand, flowers in her left hand.
    Resting on an Art Nouveau base.
    All decorated with flowers, plants.
    Titled on the base ( Libellule ) par F. Flora ( see photos ).
    The second one is titled Papillon, depicting a woman holding in her right hand flowers, and the Papillon ( butterfly ) is missing from her left hand.
    ( see last photo ), ( remaining small piece looks like a flower ).
    Also nicely dressed in the Art Nouveau style, resting on a well decorated base, flowers and plants.
    Titled Papillon , par F. Flora .
    Both statues make you dream.
    Nice shape, nice pose, and a high quality detail.
    Please see photos carefully to admire the beauty of the work.
