Description
I've searched high and low for any information specific to this F Moreau Lamp. I need to find a valuation for insurance, and for my mother's Family Trust.
I'm not even sure if it's original, or a Moreau replica, or an outright "fake" replica".
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: I added another photo that shows the coloring much more accurately. The lighting in the kitchen is mixed, changing the appearance pretty dramatically. And yes, that's a Maxfield Parrish print on the wall :)

This was in my grandmother's home. When my grandparents passed away, it was handed down to my mother. My mother is now in a nursing home, and I need to add any items of value to her Family Trust. I will be happy to sell this, once I understand it's true value.
Price Paid (If known)
In my mother's family for as long as I can remember.

This might help you understand when this was produced. and who the F Moreau is. Good Luck.
On EBay some of the Stamped Moreau lamps sell for $100. to $300.00 the statues are more.

No reason to think it's a Fake. It has a Marbleized Base Bakelite 1927 to the 1930's
