I think she wants to sell them French Belle Époque Mantel Clock from the late 19th or early 20th century, featuring a bronze (or bronzed spelter) sculpture by the celebrated French artist Auguste Moreau (1834–1917). Sculpture Details The statue depicts two young children, a boy and a girl, in a classic Art Nouveau/Romantic style. Auguste Moreau was renowned for these "genre scenes" that captured themes of innocence and playfulness. Signature: As seen in your close-up photo, it is signed "Aug. Moreau" on the naturalistic base. Material: The figures are likely patinated bronze or spelter (a zinc-based alloy often used for clocks and lamps of this era). The Base: The clock is set into a multi-tiered Breccia marble base, characterized by its distinctive "broken" or fragmented vein pattern.
