Superb and rare pair of polychrome terracotta roosters. Late 18th century.

Some slight differences between the two roosters. Minor restoration.
Beautiful plumage and posture, high-quality workmanship.
They come from the outbuildings of the Palace of Versailles (probably from the Hamlet during the time of Marie Antoinette's sheepfold) at the Petit Trianon. The roosters are believed to be of the Swiss Andalusian breed.

Weight: 22 kg per rooster
Dimensions: Height 77 cm, Length 54 cm, Depth 33 cm
and the second: Height: 73 cm, Length 56 cm, Depth 35 cm
