"A Very Fine Pair Of Art Nouveau Spelter Vases With An Antique Green Patina, Signed L&f Moreau, 34.5 Cm"
A beautiful pair of Art Nouveau spelter vases with their original polychrome patina (shades of brown and antique green). They are signed L&F Moreau (Louis & François Moreau), renowned sculptors of the late 19th century. The naturalistic scenes in relief depicting putti (cherubs) in a vegetal setting (reeds, flowers, birds, a frog, and a crab) are typical of the Art Nouveau period, around 1900. They are in good overall condition with a well-preserved patina. Note: one of the two vases has two small, discreet dents (last two photos), which is common on spelter from this period but does not detract from the stability or the visual appeal of the set. Height: 34.5 cm. Shipping with invoice, fast, careful, and very secure.
