Classic Vintage White
These beautiful busts were a delightful find!
They are in like new condition vintage matte ceramic.
The charming young girl has a bow in her hair. She is approximately 9 1/2"H x 5"W
I have found out that they are modeled on busts of the Brongniart children by Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1826)
This sweet young boy has a ruffled collar. He is approximately 8 1/2" H x 5" W
They would work well in any shabby, cottage or Victorian decor. They are very light weight but could be used as bookends if put on one of those utilitarian metal book ends. They would look wonderful in a book case or set on top of a stack of books, with or without the covers.
I can think of many ways to use them, do you have any suggestions?
Linking up with Faded Charm Cottage for White Wednesday. You can visit many beautiful whites from the links there.
Thanks for stopping by, you know I appreciate you and ya'll come back, real soon. (())
