Antique French Cast Iron Pig Sculptures, Pair Piggy Banks, c.1900–1920

Pair of antique French cast iron pigs, made circa 1900–1920. Originally used as piggy banks, but best understood today as small animal sculptures.

Solid cast iron with hand-painted finish. Good weight and clear form, typical of early 20th-century French work.

This pair would have been placed on the counter of a small butcher shop, serving both as decoration and as coin banks for small change.
