Authentic Meissen porcelain figural group known as “Liebesgruppe” (Lovers Group), after the celebrated model by Michel Victor Acier.
This elaborate composition depicts an elegantly dressed young woman and gentleman holding a large applied floral garland surrounding a classical urn, with two colorful doves at the base.
