Art Deco Diana Huntress and Leaping Antelope by Le Verrier and Demarco Base

About the Item

This is Diana the Huntress, a theme often repeated in Art Deco folklore. What makes this piece so spectacular: It has the style, small size and all the elements. The quality is of the best petite bronze metal with special green patina, very heavy and well made. The movement of the piece shows elegance and substance. Diana is in a wonderful pose, one leg extended and holding a most fluid shaped bow. She appears to be effortlessly aiming her arrow at the leaping and graceful Antelope, stamps “made in France” on the back by the legs. The designer is Max Le Verrier on the sculpture and Demarco on the base. The piece was made at the Le Verrier foundry which created the epic sculptures most associated with the great Art Deco period in France. Le Verrier’s foundry produced not only his own work, but that of several famed Deco Sculptors including Le Faguays ( who also used the names Fayral and Guerbe) and Bouraine and Janle.

  • French Art Déco Bronze Antilope Scultpure on Stone Base by Max Le Verrier 1920s
    By Max Le Verrier
    Located in Salzburg, AT
    Very finely crafted bronze sculpture from the period of French Art Deco. Attributed to the sculptur Max Le Verrier. The antelope is jumping, the dynamics and movement of the animal is very well captured in the depiction. The bronze is brown, the horns a little darker. The object rests on a stepped natural stone base which gives the whole a special sophistication. Biography Louis Octave Maxime Le Verrier, short Max Le Verrier (born January 29, 1891 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France; † June 6, 1973 in Paris, France) was a French sculptor. Le Verrier was the son of a Parisian goldsmith and jeweler; his mother was from Belgium. His parents separated when he was seven years old. He attended several boarding schools, including the École des Roches in Verneuil-sur-Avre. Against Max's wishes, his father sent him to study agriculture at Saint-Sever and La Réole. At the age of 16, he returned to Paris and took odd jobs to avoid working in agriculture. In 1909, he left France and moved to London for a short time, where he found it difficult to find work. Le Verrier worked at a flying school in Rendon, where he first serviced aircraft and then earned his pilot's license in 1913. During World War I, he saw action in a French bomber squadron beginning in February 1915. On May 25, 1915, he was shot down in a dogfight by a German fighter plane...
