Nine Carved Wood & Bone Musician Figurines - A set of nine figurines depicting a caricature-style orchestra and conductor, rendered in the contrasting Dieppe style. Each figure is constructed with heads, hands, feet, and musical instruments carved from cream-colored bone while the clothing, hats, and instrument bodies are carved from a dark, fine-grained wood. The figures are dressed in 19th-century attire, including frock coats and assorted headwear such as top hats and wide-brimmed feathered hats. Each figure is mounted on a turned, circular black wooden base. The carvings exhibit expressive facial features and detailed anatomical work. Height: 6 1/2 - 7 inches The set is in good antique condition overall. The carved bone and wood elements show minor surface dust and typical shelf wear consistent with age. The triangle player has the instrument currently secured with clear adhesive tape, indicating it is loose or detached. The violin bow and flute appear stable but are delicate.
