Pair late Victorian Spelter figures | Warrior and Maiden Holbien The 2005 Secondary School StudentPair late Victorian Spelter figures Warrior and Maiden c. 1890 Spelter is an alloy of lead and tin that ages to resemble bronze, but is softer and has a lower melting point. It is generally finished in a style to represent antique bronze which oxidises as it ages [which is what has happened, here]. Both figures have removeable "weapons" which makes it a little easier for shipping, but bear in mind these are very heavy items. Maiden approx 35cms (14")
