Those bronses look like they have something written on the base. Do they have the name of a maker or artist on them anywhere? They look like something that could be quite valuble.

Are they indeed bronze?  Signed or marked would be a help.

Are the statues signed "Bruchon" ? They look like bronze sculptures by the French artist, Emile Bruchon. Late 19th century.
I've seen them sell anywhere from $200.00-$500.00 each.

With respect to the Bronze:

One has the inscription "Prisonnaire par Ferand (Sculpt)" and the other "Improvisateur par Ferand (Sculpt).  Again, thanks for your comments!  Hope this new information helps with your opinions.

The proper spelling is Ferrand (with two r's)
