creating a characteristic green-blue "blush" in his sculptures along with random elements that make every piece unique

the back of four spindles with thirteen spindles to the lower section

The composition has a sense of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s 1881 picture ‘Bouquet of Chrysanthemums’ about it in terms of the palette used and it may have provided an inspiration to this work

Scarce early examples of their type and oh so wonderfully decorative

The condition of the puppets is generally good
