[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4584003, member: 84"]This came in to my friend's thrift store today - I've never seen anything like it! Besides being signed A. Moreau; who I found was a known sculpture (but even though the ladies look bronze, one's fingers are broken & it looks like lead or pot metal underneath? Also on the "leaves" of the lamp it says Art D France - did these come with the lamp or were the replacements? (another unusual thing - the light fixture part of the lamp fits into a slot at the lamp's base & a screw that holds it in place, but is easy to remove - (which is why I was wondering if the Art D France part was a replacement) - why would they do that? Also - what the heck are the hooves for the lamp's feet mean? I paid $50 for it; I am pretty sure it was a good deal but I wanted to check here because I've been wrong before! Any information would be greatly appreciated (especially any about those feet!)
