Location : Baton Rouge
No other family epitomizes late 19th century French sculpture as the Moreaus, and this clock set serves as tribute. The graceful form and idyllic settings, sometimes drawn from the Bible, sometimes from mythology, forever remain in our collective consciousness as the timeless essence of artistic expression. This set, cast from spelter and given a patinaed bronze finish, includes a clock with hand-painted porcelain dial face, with all three statues set upon footed marble bases.
Circa 1890.
Clock measures 21.5 x 13.5 x 7; urns each measure 19 x 8 x 5.
