Paire de montants de cheminée en pierre sculptée en forme d'un homme et d'une femme, probablement Flandres, 16/17ème siècle

H 127,5 - 97,5 cm (with and without base)
L 21 - D 27 cm (the sculpture) 
H 30 - L 20 - D 25 cm (the base)

Offered together with their bases, these caryatid-like figures were originally part of a reconstituted chimney in the city of Muizen, near Mechelen, in the province of Antwerp.
In this reconstitution, they were surmounted by a pair of lions, which are offered separately.
