A charming pair of antique German porcelain figurines depicting a flower seller boy and girl, produced by Triebner, ENS & Eckert in the late 19th century, dating to the 1880s. The figures are finely modelled and hand-painted, with expressive faces, carefully detailed costumes, and applied floral elements typical of Thuringian porcelain of this period.
The boy is shown holding a bouquet of flowers, dressed in a floral-patterned jacket with pastel trousers, while the girl carries a flower basket and wears a red bodice with a pale blue sash and floral-decorated skirt. Both figures are finished in bright pastel tones with delicate gilded accents and stand on naturalistic rocky bases.
These figures are a classic example of Victorian-era German figural porcelain, intended for cabinet display. They present well as a matching pair and are well suited to collectors of 19th-century continental porcelain or decorative Victorian interiors.
