Crown Devon Ivrine Fieldings Statues

Description:

I inherited these from my grandmother who was an avid antique collector.  I have no idea how old they are.  I actually have these because no one else was interested and I could not bear to see them auctioned off knowing how my grandmother had loved them. 

These statues are approximately 14.5 in. high with no breaks, chips or cracks.  The bottom of the man statue holding what I believe to be a violin has "CROWN DEVON IVRINE FIELDINGS" with a crown underneath it.  Below the crown it says "STOKEon TRENT ENGLAND".  A No. 2 is on the right lower side of above writings.  A 5 or an S is below.  All writing is in brown.  The girl is holding a musical instrument also (a ukelele?).  The bottom of woman statue reads, "CROWN DEVON IVRINE FIELDINGS" with a crown underneath it.  Below the crown it says "STOKEon TRENT ENGLAND".  It looks like a small 14 under the above.  All are in brown lettering except a number "20" is indented into the statue (no coloring).  Also the woman has a sticker that reads #459, which probably was a booth number or something.  I have searched all over the internet and cannot find anything like these items.  Thank you so much for any information/ guidance you can offer.

French Ship Painting

Description:

This is an oil painting of a French merchant ship named the Quevilly. It has a hand written inscription by the artist in French, which I don't understand.

I have learned the ship was built in 1898 and hit a mine and sank in 1939. In 2000 a French diving club found the wreck and planned to dive for artifacts but I can’t find any more information on what happened after that.  The painting is dated 4/10/19.

Satinwood Bedroom Suite

Description:

This is a satinwood four piece bedroom set we bought at a local auction in the early 1980's. Prompted by knowledge gained on Antiques Roadshow, I took a new look at these beautiful pieces. Notable are a "profligate" use of satinwood, very fine grained secondary wood, shrunken cabinet door rails and drawer fronts, antique door and drawer pulls, circa 1800's broken pediment motif and the wardrobe which separates into four elements. Minor blemishes dot top surfaces, slightly warped cabinet doors and one large drawer has slight damage, replaced marble on the wash stand and there is some deterioration of most of the five mirrors - all beveled.
