Condition: the balls on the arm have been restored to a dark green color; well done and with a couple of minor scratches to the finish. The movement within is clean and running, has countwheel to control the strike. The statue is just the way a collector would like to find it, the multi color finish with wear and oxidation on all the high spots, but the balance looking wonderful. The statue with a silvered brass plaque that reads "Fleur des Pres, par Aug. Moreau". Height 29 inches
