Two Nymphs In Hardened Wood After The Fountain Of The Innocents In Paris Ref1150

Two rectangular bas-relief plaques in hardened wood with a brown patina, depicting two nymphs after the Fountain of the Innocents in Paris (water and fire).
Period: mid-19th century.
They are in good condition, with well-defined subjects and a lovely patina.
Note only two small imperfections on the lower corners of the fire goddess; one is darker than the other.

The hardened wood is a composition made of rosewood or ebony sawdust and ox blood, the albumin of which acts as a binder.
By heating and applying pressure in molds and dies, small objects, formerly called "Parisian articles," are formed.
This reconstituted wood is black or brown, very dense, and resistant to boiling water.
