A charming pair of cast iron caryatids, suitable as elegant plant pots, etc. The bases are made of decorated wood, while the upper bowls, in painted copper, harmoniously reflect the style and color of the figures.
The ensemble creates a charming, scenic effect, typical of the Art Nouveau period.

These are in good condition, with slight discoloration due to age, which is normal for antique objects and consistent with their period charm.
These are two splendid examples, ideal for entryways, corridors, halls, or reception areas, perfect for displaying decorative plants or greenery.

Caryatids are female sculptures used in architecture as columns or load-bearing elements; their male counterparts are called telamons or atlas.
