Dear Peter,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a bronze statue on a marble base with the measurements of 32 inches height. The bronze depicts an owl landing on a tree. This bronze was made and is signed by Jules MOIGNIEZ (1835-1894).
Works by this artist were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 2.000 to 3.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
