Two Outstanding Bisque Busts on Stands

 

These two separate busts with wooden pedestals were made in the late 19^th Century. The one with shorter hair is Goethe and the long curls was Schiller. They were famous German men revered for their  German literature. A bronze statue of both men can be found in Weimar, Germany where it was made in 1857.

Each bust is placed on a carved wooden pedestal which reminds me of the statue of Queen Victoria. These statues have more detail in their facial and hair features. I have not seen these for sale but I have seen the bust of Queen Victoria many times.

 

Measurements: 6" tall and each bust has the name carved on the back , beneath the head.

Circa: Second half of the 19^th Century

Price: The statues will be sold as a pair for $150
