Figural mantel clock - - Patinated bronze - 1800-1850

Statuette of a reader by the sculptor Moreau, a clock garniture. This sculpture, made by one of the Moreau brothers, represents a reader seated on a nurse chair in a posture that blends relaxation and contemplation. This sculpture is in bronze with a very beautiful patina and in excellent condition. The signature is on the seat of the chair under the reader’s leg. The clock is a French clock from the 19th century. I don’t know if the clock mechanism works. The bronzier-editor is the house Bouvier; the name is engraved in brass at the back of the mechanism along with the numbers 1677. There is no base. It is a very beautiful authentic collectible object from the 19th century (Napoleonic period or late 19th century).
