Description
Bring rustic French charm to your home with this elegant pair of patinated spelter figurines titled “Berger” (Shepherd) and “Bergère” (Shepherdess). Standing at an impressive 40 cm each, these beautifully detailed sculptures depict a pastoral couple in traditional attire, each captured in a moment of serene rural life.
Crafted in spelter—a zinc-based alloy commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—these figures feature a warm bronze-style patina and are mounted on rounded polished wooden bases with metal nameplates. The attention to detail in their expressive faces, flowing garments, and textured surroundings reflects the romanticized vision of rural life popular in French decorative arts.
