Description

Superb pair of Old Paris porcelain figurines, representing an orientalist couple of sultan and sultana, seated cross-legged on rich purple poufs. These pieces, dating from the Restoration period (early 19th century), are in keeping with the exotic taste much in vogue at the time.
The figures are finely modeled, dressed in outfits richly decorated with gilded motifs, with delicate details in expressions, gestures and accessories. The turban-like headdresses reinforce the oriental inspiration, typical of the productions attributed to Jacob Petit, famous for his original and colorful creations.
Each figurine serves as a perfume burner, with an integrated receptacle. The ensemble exudes a certain charm, blending elegance, whimsy and decorative refinement.
