Triebner Ens & Eckert, Volkstedt, Pair Of Figurines Gardeners, C. 1894

A pair of antique porcelain figurines produced by Triebner, ENS & Eckert, a renowned porcelain manufacturer from Volkstedt, Germany, in the late 19th century. The figurines depict an elegant young couple of gardeners in 18th-century Rococo attire. The female figurine holds a basket of grape; the male presents a garland of flowers. The design reflects the Rococo style popular in the late 19th century, characterized by delicate features, exceptional hand-painted detailing, and intricate floral patterns.
The figurines are mounted on decorative bases with gilt accents and scrollwork, a hallmark of high-quality German porcelain. The base of one figure bears the company mark (a single pitchfork with a sun); on the other, the mark is badly worn.
The Volkstedt porcelain factory was originally established in 1767. Under the ownership of Triebner, ENS & Eckert in the late 19th century, the company became known for its highly detailed figurines and luxurious decorative items. The factory is recognized as one of the oldest porcelain manufacturers in Germany, contributing significantly to the Volkstedt tradition of fine porcelain. Volkstedt porcelain is prized among collectors for its exceptional craftsmanship and historical significance. Figurines like these were often commissioned as decorative pieces for the homes of the European elite.
