Pair Of Spelter Vases, Signed L. Moreau – Late 19th Century

The two double-patina spelter vases in the Art Nouveau style, signed Louis Moreau (1855-1919), feature a nude female figure on one and a male figure on the other in three dimensions. Each of these vases has highly detailed hair and facial details, emerging from the side of the vase as part of the floral and organic motif typical of the Art Nouveau period. These figures are positioned differently, one holding a veil over her hair and the other spreading her hair at full length. These works have bulbous bodies and narrow necks, decorated with flowing lines and naturalistic motifs that complement the figures. The craftsmanship highlights the intricate details and textures, particularly in the decorative elements of the vases. These pieces are relevant for their artistic value, their representation of the art nouveau style and their association with Louis Moreau. Louis Auguste Moreau (1855-1919) was a French sculptor known for winning numerous awards during his career and being one of the pillars of the art nouveau style. *********Period: Late 19th centuryExcellent condition.Delivery in France and internationally.Dimensions:Width: 30 cmDepth: 27 cmHeight: 48 cmReference: 120624
