Detailed description

The L&F Moreau are members of the Moreau sculptor dynasty: they are known as Louis Auguste Moreau (1855-1919) and Hippolyte François Moreau (1857-1930). They primarily created in the 19th century and are best known for their decorative clocks and garnitures made of bronze or spelter. L&F Moreau works are often associated with the art nouveau style, characterized by figurative table lamps and sculptures. 

Bronze figurative mantel clock set, complemented by a central clock body and two accompanying candlestick elements, in a cohesive, sculptural composition.
