ITEM 877 DESCRIPTION
A pair of French bronze-patinated and parcel gilt-spelter figures of women. The female figures are allegorical, representing America and Africa. Cast after models by Albert-Ernest Carrier-Beleuse, around circa 1900-1915. Albert-Ernest Carrier-Beleuse (1824-1887) is probably best known as a sculptor of small-scale bronzes and terracotta sculptures which were conceived from the outset as compositions to be replicated in considerable numbers. One figure is wearing an Egyptian costume with her foot resting on a crocodile. The other figure has foliage to her hair wearing a bearskin and shell necklace. Her foot is resting on the shell of a turtle. The circular bases moulded with the artist's name, A. Carrier. Circa late 19th/Early 20th century. ITEM 877 PROVENANCE

Carvalho ABC LImited

My name is Marco Carvalho and I am the Sole Trader of Carvalho ABC Limited, a business I established in September 2022. After having worked for a decade in the antique industry for another business, I have now decided to sell my own stock that I built up during that period and from a previously private collection. I specialise in reselling antiques, books, and collectable items. Within those categories, I have items listed such as Ancient Civilisation Antiquities, Art, Chinese Snuff Bottles, General Antiques, and Visiting Card Cases to mention but a few. I cover a wide variety of antiques, books, and collectables; my range encompasses everything from affordable items that promote beginners and new collectors to those that satisfy the demands and tastes of the more mature and serious collector. I refer to auctioneers, and antique and art experts for the authenticity of my stock to advise me and my customers on their demands and needs, always ensuring confidence and provenance. My mission is to give a unique service to my customers and to ensure their satisfaction with the items that they purchase from me, with authenticity and quality. I always strive to serve better.
