Product Name: Great pair of bronzed, spelter lamps, retail ca. 1900 Paris.
Marked on brass tag in French: "Ecoliere par Moreau" representing girl and retail boy students. The foundry mark: "Fabrication Francaise Paris", made in Paris France. This was a foundry in Paris which poured French bronzes and iron work in the late 19th Century, early 20th Century. The circular foundry mark bares this name at the top, an image of a crucible set on flames in the centre, with the “Made in France” ringing the bottom of the circle, The “Made in France” in English on the foundry mark is due to the U.S trade law of 1891 that required all imports to be marked to indicate the country of origin. Fabrication Francaise, Paris was a production company that manufactured sculptures after the artist produced bronze sculptures. These reproductions were rarely cast in bronze, but cast in spelter metal as are these pair of lamps.
