A very handsome pair of French 19th century Egyptian Revival st. busts of Ramses the II and his wife Isis, signed by Pierre-Eugène-Émile Hébert. Each is raised on a black Belgian marble base with ormolu trim and etched eagle design on the front, accented with ormolu details. Rouge Griotte marble borders the top and bottom of central column which has a similar design gilt-etched below the names Isis and Ramses. Above are the impeccably carved patinated bronze busts of the Pharaoh and his wife with wonderful expressions accented with finely chased ormolu head dress, wide necklaces and scepters.
