These figurines of the Frog and the Carp bringing the letter are inspired by an iconic episode from Alice in Wonderland , where the two messengers are tasked with delivering an invitation to the Queen. Reproduced in tin alloy , hand-painted with acrylics and varnished in the Figurart workshop in Compiègne, they combine precision of detail and humorous spirit faithful to John Tenniel .

The two anthropomorphic animals, dressed in frock coats and with a formal air, embody the absurd refinement of Alice's world . The contrast between the seriousness of their mission and their comical appearance illustrates Lewis Carroll 's offbeat tone.

Each piece is unique, carefully crafted by a skilled artisan. These figurines are ideally presented as a pair, for collectors , lovers of literary miniatures , and enthusiasts of hand-painted pewter figurines .
