Pair of Large Capodimonte White Glazed Porcelain Figures

An impressive pair of Capodimonte white glazed porcelain figures depicting an elegant lady and a gentleman dressed in 18th-century attire. Finely modeled with expressive facial features, elaborate period costumes, delicate applied lace decoration, and flowing drapery. The gentleman is shown holding a horn beside a tree stump, while the lady gracefully holds a folded fan with one arm raised.
Each figure is executed in glossy white glazed porcelain and bears a blue underglaze crown mark to the underside. Richly detailed with finely sculpted features and ornamental decoration, these large figures make an exceptional display for collectors of fine European porcelain.

Condition: Overall good antique condition with age-related wear. The figures exhibit multiple hairline cracks, several professionally restored areas, and losses and repairs to the delicate applied lace decoration on the collars, cuffs, and trim. The female figure has a hairline crack beneath the raised arm and another to the fan, along with a small chip to one sleeve cuff. The male figure shows a hairline crack and restoration to the drapery near the vessel, additional restoration at the shoulder, and a small drilled opening to the trousers. Both figures display minor glaze wear, surface abrasions, firing imperfections, light surface soiling, and scattered restorations consistent with age and handling. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the condition report.
