This spectacular and very heavy brass and bronze plate with a deep, rich patina is actually more of a sculpture than it is a plate. Depicted is a nautical scene of a majestic and beautiful sailing ship surrounded by seven seagulls. It was created and signed by Pierre Le Faguays (1892-1925).

Pierre Le Faguays was born in Nantes, France in 1892. He was not only a talented sculptor, but also a leading member of the committee for the 1925 Paris Exhibition. He was awarded a medal of honor for his work in 1927. His best friend, Max Le Verrier (of the Le Verrier Foundry) made most of (if not all of) his pieces.

This charmed snake is made of enduring, hefty and richly patinated iron - fer forgé and is signed E Brandt on the lower coil.

This sculpture is featured prominently in one of the most important books about the life and creations of Edgar Brandt; "Edgar Brandt, Master Of Art Deco Ironwork" published by Harry N. Abrams, 1999.

Here is a wonderfully rare version of the Max Le Verrier sculpture, "BouBou". It is a monkey with a humorous expression holding an illuminated electric lamp in one hand while the other is held to his ear. A similar version of this piece has been photographed for inclusion in the book 'Mascottes Automobiles' by Michel Legrand. Le Verrier produced a small range of monkey subject mascots in the 1920s. This one is perhaps one of his most famous creations. "BouBou" is made of a beautifully patinated metal and he sits obediently upon a square marble base. This charming and quizzical sculpture stands 7" tall and is signed "M LeVerrier".

Elation and Jubilation emanate from this Pierre Le Faguays (1892-1925) Art Deco sculpture of cast patinated metal. It's a truly wonderfully designed and executed work of art; from the delicate "dancer-like" hands to the angelic expression and right down to the beautifully stepped base design. This sculpture is signed on the base "Fayral".

Fayral and Guerbe were each pseudonyms used by the famous Pierre Le Faguays. Fayral and Guerbe were the family names of his Mother and his Wife respectively. Le Faguays was born in Nantes, France and became famous for the originality and grace he gave his dancers, many of which were inspired by the statues of Tanagra. He was awarded a medal of honor for his work in 1927. His best friend, Max Le Verrier (of the Le Verrier Foundry) made most of (if not all of) his pieces.

Here we have a mesmerizing 1930s metal statue of a growling panther by Irénée Rochard (1906-1984). Notice the unusual, natural pose and the manner in which the artist has captured this feline's strength and ferocity. The sculpture is made from a beautifully patinated metal and stands on a chamfered edged rectangular slab of beautiful marble which bears the signature "Rochard".

Renown French animal sculptor, Irénée Rochard was born in Villefranche sur Saône in 1906 from an important family of artists. His painstaking artistry imparts a manner of intelligence to his sculpted animals and tends to bring out their personality, their gentleness or, as in this case, their fierceness.
