probably Berlin, each modelled with a cherub perched upon gilt-heightened foliate and rocaille scroll-molded devices.
Condition
There are some general chips and losses and large areas of old, discolored restoration to the flowers, leaves and scrollwork of both; the lower end of each, beneath the cherub's foot, has been broken off and restored back - the restoration now discolored. Both would benefit from re-restoration.
