Bronze or metal composition?

Hello

Can anyone give me an idea if anything missing in this composition?
Not sure how old this would be, feels like bronze but could be some other metal.
It is about 9 inch tall.
No markings or hallmarks of any kind.

 

they look like Roman Fauns...... getting their funk on !!

Could be a trivet for placing of a wine bottle !

I don't see any signs of a third sitter..

 

Hallmarks are for jewelry....u must mean a foundry mark !

 

a couple of real ' Hoofers '........

 

ps........bronze ...is metal !!!

 

Will a wine bottle slot in there?

9 inches tall......so, I'd think a standard wine bottle would sit on the marble

 

So this is a bottle stand? It might be. Any idea how old?

 

New if not newish.

Really? Doesn't look exactly the same...

 

It probably is. It is very pretty.

It looks wine or grape related, with the fun they're having. But wine leaves terrible stains on (in) marble, so it may be meant for something else. Maybe for a fruit tazza?

 

Try a wine bottle and see how it fits. Those figures should be embracing it.

The composition of the marble stand makes me think 1980s at the earliest.

May be bronze, but but patinas on base metals can be very convincing. The verdigris could be intentional distressing.

 

They are bacchantes, female followers of the wine god Bacchus. Looks the same to me as to others, like a wine bottle fits in between.

 

did u notice they have hooves....?

 

more of a Satyr....or Faun...... I would think !

 

No, that got by me. Then they are satyresses, also liable to inebriation & part of Bacchus' revel rout.
