Hi D!

Your statue appears to be the work of the famous French foundry of Eck and Durand (c. 1840-1863). Their work is represented in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London and the Art Institute of Chicago. Upon the death of Jean George Eck in 1863, Durand withdrew and sold the firm. Many of Eck and Durand's works were later recast by Victor Thiebaut. You may need to have someone familiar with bronzes in general look at it to see if it is an original or a recast.

I wish I had some info on your table. All I can say is that "Blackmoors" are always a hot and in-demand subject in the antiques and interior design markets. I'm jealous!

I hope this helps!!!

Boy, thanks for the response! i've been away from the cpu for a week, I appologaize for the delay. Thanks a lot! Your response is the first positive information i've recieved yet! Every other time it's "huh?" or "hmm....not sure about those two"

Hi D!

I would love to hear what you find out from this.

Any chance you can make out any other names (the actual artist's name)? Not sure why I didn't think to ask before. I'll see if I have it in my Davenport's.

Regards,
