Pair of enamelled porcelain candle holders. Inspired by models from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France). The base of the candlestick is decorated with stylised plant elements in relief highlighted with gold threads; the foot resembles the stem of a flower, an effect reinforced by a leaf that emerges to one side where the woman rests and by the candle holder, worked as if it were a flower. The young woman's attire responds to models related to the 19th century, and the work shows influence from creations of the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France).

Bronze figure placed on a circular base showing a humbly dressed child, holding a teapot and raising his hand to his mouth in a gesture of shouting or hawking his “merchandise” or services. The piece is reminiscent of European works (France, Vienna…) from the late 19th or early 20th century, both in the material chosen and in the subject matter of the sculpture, its size, composition, detail, etc. The inscription on the base (P. Dubois) refers to the sculptor Paul Dubois (France, 1829-1905), whose work inspired this sculpture (especially one in particular, very similar to this one).

Pair of porcelain figurines. “Young couple with baskets”. Inspired by models from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France). The bases of the figures have legs made with stylised plant motifs and flowers in relief. These, together with the very idealised clothing of the young people and the theme of the work, relate it to the main European porcelain factories of the 18th century. However, the great popularity of these sculptures and their quality led to their continued creation throughout the following century. The examples present show many points in common with cobras from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France).
