Question

unknown
Dear Ms Heister,
I have 2, 15 5/8" tall x 12" wide, raised carved marble french ladies from the universelle exposition of 1889.  They are both marked on back "universal exposition of 1889".  They resemble a cameo.  Can you tell me anything about them and their worth?  I am attaching photos.
Sincerely,
RSmith
