Late 19th - early 20th century. Art Nouveau and later. The first is a woman with drill press and compass, of unmarked bronze on a circular plinth, depicted working a drill press on an anvil fitted with a vise, with nice olive patina and undisturbed surface, 28” tall. The second is titled "LE FUMEUR" after Charles Masse (1855 - 1913), this patinated Spelter figure of a boy smoking, mounted on a square plinth simulating bricks. A plaque affixed to the plinth identifies the figure. Has patinated gold finish, 21-1/2” tall. The third is a nice bronze of a nude woman caressing a bust of perhaps Bacchus on a pedestal. This unmarked example is mounted on a socle base with good nutmeg patina with slight surface abrasions, 21” tall. All three are in overall good condition.
Item Dimensions: Largest: 12" x 27 - 1/2".
