Italian, Naples, late 18th/early 19th century

together with an Italian, Naples, late 18th/ early 19th century Creche Figure (29.5cm., 11 5/8in.),  an Italian, Naples, late 18th/early 19th century fruit basket from a Creche (5 by 7cm., 2 by 2 3/4 in. approx.), and a Group with Angel and Child, probably Italian, 20th Century (total with glass dome: 12 by 6.5cm., 4¾ by 2½in.)

Overall the condition of the figures is good with minor dirt and wear to the surfaces consistent with age. Note also the following specific comments: The large creche: there are a few fissures to the polychromy and restoration to the hands: some of the fingers are reattached or restored and part of the index finger of one of the figures is detached. The foot of one of the figures is detached. There is wear to the drapery of both figures consistent of the material, especially at the back of one of the figures, where sections have disintergrated. There are also losses to the material covering the bases. The creche figure with the basket is overall in good condition with wear to the polychromy, especially on the face. There is a hole to the back of the head and the figure may be reattached at the base. There is unstable paper to the underside of the base of the modern figural group. There is minor wear to the fruit group.
