Antique French Bronze Figural Table Lamp, "Percheur"
Antique French Bronze Figural Table Lamp, "Percheur" (Perching) by Aug. Moreau; a very fine piece of a young boy fishing (for perch we think). The sculpture shows the signature of Aug. Moreau (1834 - 1917). Moreau is well-known for his allegorical and pastoral sculptures. This lamp is in very good condition showing much detail in the bronze work. The base is a green marble. It is marked "Made in France". The finial appears to be a replacement, the lamp does not have a shade. It measures 32" H x 8" DIA, the sculpture measures 17" H. A very impressive piece.
