Antique bronze angel inscribed Moreau Vauthier. On the bottom of the base it is marked THIEBAUT FRERES FONDEURS PARIS. The more you look at this bronze the better it gets. This sculpture has absolutely superb detail it looks a live breathing angel more than it does a bronze sculpture. It has a lovely light honey colored brown patina. The angel may have had a bow or another arrow in its hand at one point. There was something else in the angel's extended hand most likely a bow. This is an exquisite quality sculpture the finest detail you could ever hope to find on any bronze. It measures 4-3/4 inches high. From the angel's left elbow to the tip of his right hand it measures 2-1/4 inches. His wingspan is more than 1 inch. The diameter of the base 1-3/4 inches. Weight 255.7 grams, approximately 7 ounces. This bronze looks beautiful on desktop, could be used as a paper weight bronze and will also look beautiful in a cabinet displayed with other bronzes. Excellent condition with the exception of lacking bow or arrow that was in right hand at one time. (Item #72814)
