Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

A trio of glazed porcelain figurines decorated in a 18th-century Galant style with hand-painted polychrome enamels and gilded accents. The group consists of two matching female figures and one male figure. Each female figure is depicted in a wide-brimmed white hat featuring a large orange bow, a blue bodice with an orange bow at the neck, and a long white and pink-toned skirt adorned with painted floral sprays. They are each shown holding a yellow parasol with a gilded handle. The male figure is dressed in a red frock coat over a light blue cravat and cravat, blue breeches, and white stockings, and is depicted holding a stringed instrument resembling a lute or mandolin. The figures stand on circular bases with gilded or green-painted details. There are no maker’s names, factory marks, or signatures visible on the exterior surfaces of the pieces.


Condition report:

The figurines appear to be in generally good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs from the primary viewing angle (photo 1). There is minor rubbing and wear to the gilded highlights on the handles of the yellow parasols and to the gilded trim on the bodices. The painted floral decoration remains bright. No ruler is present in the image to provide dimensions.
