I ask experts to assess sculpture GUILLEMIN
 

Help, please, with the assessment of sculptures:
Author GUILLEMIN (France).
Height 45 cm (with pedestal - mahogany?).
Date of establishment of the nineteenth century?
Material - I can not determine - not bronze, exactly!
It looks like an alloy of lead and zinc - is this possible?
Patina artificial.
Damage - the hand mower has traces of recovery.
     Yours Andrew.
PS scythe and a pitchfork can be interchanged, but then the woman will be ambivalent ...;)

It seems to me, Bronze old, but the casting of poor quality. I would put $ 500 per pair.

Enotka, thank you!
BUT:
It is 100%not bronze! Dark-gray, ductile, but fragile, (he did not understand how is this possible?) Heavy metal. Neither those who have not seen this?

Perhaps shpiatr - a variety of zinc and zinc alloys used in the art industry first third of the XIX-XX century as a replacement for bronze.

Shpiatr, alias "Shades of Gray" - a pun, however :-)
Thanks for the information!
And about $ 500 - really?

If shpiatr, and I agree, the figures inside the hollow. You can flip a finger and listen to the sound.
