    Can you please tell me is this August Moreau ? It's in the base handwritten. I took a photo of the signature. I am not sure.

      No, sorry, not August Moreau but it was put out by H.B. Hirsch Foundry of New York probably in the late 1970's or later, posibly into the early 1990's. They were making a series of different statues and the ones they made of Moreau's statues they released in the early 1980's which is documented in The Encyclopedia of Bronzes by Harold Bernman who worked with the Hirsch brothers in their foundry to gain knowledge of their fine work. The shades you have with your lamp are reproductions, the statues they made themselves were made using the original molds which they dug up over 20 years from the floors of the Paris foundries as they had special knowledge of their whereabouts. Mystery Solved. I don't know for sure without looking at my book but I don't think they revealed the artist who made your particular statue lamp. The ones they made by August Moreau came out about 1981 and were larger than your statue lamp.
