Pair of vintage bronze sculptures “Young Musicians”

This vintage pair of sculptures depicting a young flautist and violinist is a graceful example of mid-twentieth-century decorative art, drawing on the classical traditions associated with the Italian Fonderia Lancini foundry and French sculptor Ernest Rancoulet. The two freestanding figures show a young man in loose clothing playing the flute and a girl in a swirling dress holding a violin to her shoulder. Cast in bronze alloy, they have a rich, dark brown patina that brings out the folds of their clothing, their movement and facial expressions. Each stands on a sturdy stepped circular base. Their matching style makes them a harmonious pair for a mantelpiece, chest or bookshelf.

The sculptures are in impeccable vintage condition, with no mechanical damage or deep scratches, and their details remain intact. They would make a distinctive gift for a music lover or a classical accent in an interior.
