Lady with the Lamp

Actually, currently in our trove we have two very lovely ladies with lamps. 

Of spelter, a zinc alloy that resembles bronze, patinaed in antique white, each lamp has a plaque on the front of the base. The gorgeous gal on the globe is captioned "Clair de Lune par Bruchon" (Moonlight by Bruchon), while her pretty partner is "Crépuscule par Bruchon" (Twilight by Bruchon).

Each also carries the incised signature "Bruchon" 

Émile Jean Baptiste Bruchon (1838–1909) was a French sculpture of the Belle Époque best known for his smaller bronze statues, often incorporated as decorative motives on utilitarian items such as lamps and clocks. Born in Paris, he studied under Mathurin Moreau, one of the most influential French sculptors of the 19th century, and his works were exhibited in Paris Salon. Finely detailed and often depicting graceful, fluid motion, Bruchon's works typically portray figures from mythology or literature.
