Max Le Verrier

[3] Max Le Verrier was born on 29 January 1891 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France to a French father who was a goldsmith and jeweler, and a mother from Belgium.

[3] In 1925, he showed his work at the Exposition internationale des Arts décoratifs et industriels modernes in Paris, where he won a gold medal.

In the early 1920s, he inherited a small metal foundry and by 1926 he started making decorative objects in his own workshop.

[1] Le Verrier's studio created bronze lamps, ashtrays, bookends, desk sets, and hood ornaments; often featuring nude women or animals in an Art Deco style.

He also cast work for other sculptors, including Pierre Le Faguays,[4] Marcel Bouraine,[4] André Vincent Becquerel [de],[1] and Jules Edmont Masson.
