    More information

    Auguste Moreau sculpture pair — La Moisson (“The Harvest”) and Le Message (“The Message”), late 19th century (Belle Époque). This exceptional ensemble by the celebrated French sculptor Auguste Moreau (1834–1917) personifies the grace and idealism of Art Nouveau. Each allegorical figure is modeled with lyrical movement and finely articulated drapery, revealing Moreau’s gift for conveying sensitivity and naturalism in the female form.

    Cast in zinc (spelter) with a bronze patina that convincingly simulates noble metal, the figures stand on solid veined marble bases embellished with gilt-bronze mounts of Rococo inspiration. The surfaces show crisp modeling and careful finishing consistent with the quality of the Moreau family workshop. Both figures are signed “A. Moreau” on the base, and retain an original period foundry stamp, reinforcing attribution and period authenticity.

    The titles frame their allegorical reading: La Moisson celebrates agricultural prosperity, while Le Message embodies sentimental communication. As a pair, they form a coherent decorative narrative suited to refined interiors and curated collections.
