This extraordinary and extremely rare pair of bronze statues depicting a traffic policeman and a female traffic policewoman represents a one-of-a-kind piece of Italian costume history, perfect for those seeking rarity and uniqueness.

Subject and Style: The sculptures accurately portray two figures in vintage municipal police dress uniforms from the 1960s and 1970s. The traffic policeman (with a mustache and peaked hat) and the female traffic policewoman (with the characteristic peaked beret) are depicted standing in a formal and proud pose. The details of the uniforms are meticulously rendered: the belts with embossed badges, the insignia, the buttons, and the hat badges. The sculptural style is figurative, with great attention to the realism of the faces and costumes, typical of mid-century Italian craftsmanship.

Material and Finish: The statues are crafted from solid, heavy bronze, cast using the lost-wax process. The surface features a magnificent, authentic natural dark patina, with fascinating shades of antique green and brown, guaranteeing their age and authenticity. Each statue rests firmly on a cylindrical base made of polished dark wood, enhancing the chromatic contrast.
