VTG Art Deco Nouveau Arts & Craft. Signed & Labeled, Reads. Moreau (By Auguste Moreau). Nd you will have to file your own claim. Presented for Your Consideration. Perhaps the most raw and robust bare chested massive blacksmith figure lamp seen in ages. This snapshot of a forge worker stands way out compared to others I’ve seen in levels of realism, detail, size, condition and provenance. Our metalsmith is deeply engaged in his work and only pauses his hammer to gauge its progress. His work shirt is cast aside, no doubt soaked with the sweat of his labors and a rough leather apron protects his taut abs, hips and thighs. A large caliper, or more likely tongs, rests near his feet and an anvil with a Moreau signature stands behind. The cuffs of his trousers wedge against the laces of his boots, whose tips are bent from considerable use. The blacksmith’s muscles bulge most naturally from his arms, chest and back. His seeming fair hair that graces his brows and the facial growth below subtle aquiline features frame a handsome and healthy fellow in the prime of his youth. And maybe also the height of his craft. This huge figure lamp is in excellent condition, absent structural issues and with very few minor surface blemishes consistent with age. I see tiny splatters from nearby careless painting, here and there. I believe the metal is spelter, beautifully shaped and aged. The wooden base is a bit loose and I see what may be a hairline just right side of the maker’s label. I’ve replaced the inner socket and wire with functional counterparts while still retaining the original socket husk. The harp was taken from another vintage lamp and can be easily swapped for different shapes or sizes as needed. The lamp features a curved light stem distanced and attached to the figure and base by metal straps and screws. I see this method in very old lamps from Europe. If you’ve waited to invest in a less than modestly endowed masculine light that exudes a profound presence and draws even the most aloof of eyes without effort, your patience may just have prevailed. Just add your dream shade or choose one from my inventory for a devastatingly dramatic or even serene and subtle effect. A dimmer is highly recommended. Height – 33 1/2 inches (27 w/o harp). Weight – 8 lbs 13 oz. Tighten wooden base, address hairline near maker’s label. Presently in excellent working condition. I made the art glass shade in my Seattle studio, Edge of Glass. I acquired the lamp base with a handsome hoard of lamps and period parts from established antiquities dealers over the years for my lighting business.
