Featuring finely detailed busts of a turbaned figure—inscribed with the word \"TURC\" on the base—they are a quintessential example of the Orientalist movement in decorative arts. The heavy cast iron still retains striking traces of its original cold-painted polychrome finish in hues of red, gold, and deep black, displaying a magnificent, time-worn patina. Whether framing a historic hearth or displayed as standalone sculptural objects, they bring a profound sense of history and character to a space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Details \u0026amp; Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEstimated Period:\u003c\/b\u003e Late 19th Century (c. 1880-1900).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy cast iron with original residual polychrome paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height 19 cm | Width 11 cm | Depth (Length) 24 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent antique condition.
