The statue of Charmeuse, after an original by Moreau (signed) with original bronzed finish and all fingers and toes intact. Note the 2 gilded birds, one on her hand, and a second below her feet. Note this figure originally had a wooden base, attached with 6 screws around the perimeter of the statue. Those 6 holes have been filled and painted over. Otherwise complete and sound and with a nice early canister style clock arm in running order. Height 25 inches
