AUGUSTE MOREAU (1822-1901) was a French student of Mathurin Moreau and regularly exhibited in the Salons.

Moreau, August - worked 1860 - 1910, prolific nouveau spelter and bronze sculptor.

beautiful vintage lady statue is signed and has a natural patina as it has not been cleaned. Has some green residue on backside that is 1-1/2" x 1" and appears to be florist putty (not broken), prior owner was big in the Sweetwater Garden Club so I feel it was used in some floral flower arrangement at one time.

No damage and condition is excellent. Base size is 5-1/2" diameter and 15-3/4" tall. If you look way up inside of her you will see a bolt with nuts on it if that helps you to date it.

History I have is - estate sale item and son said his mother bought it years ago from a local antique dealer that closed back in 1965 and she is long gone.

Nice signature August Moreau and I do not find a number. I do not know if it had a marble base at one time as many did as well as a plaque with a name on it. Therefore I do not know the name for this art work
