Description
Male and female figurine lamps. One signed "Auguste Moreau" the other signed "Aug. Moreau". Both lamps are stamped on the base with the Seal of France. Lamps are approximately 34" tall. Unsure if they were always lamps or figurines made into lamps. Glaze is chipped but lamps are still pretty solid.

Re: Auguste Moreau male and female figurine lamps
What would the appraised value of these two Aug Moreau Lamps?
Re: Auguste Moreau male and female figurine lamps
First you would have to determine what they are made of, bronze or spelter. as they have been painted it's likely they are spelter. Spelter is a zinc alloy that is often plated bronze, when thr bronze plating begings to wear off they were often painted.
Lamps of this type tend to date from the first quarter of the 20th century, and are not original Moreau pieces, but based on his work. Here's a link to comparable lamps at auction:
