Original French Art Deco Statue signed Fayral ( Le Faguays) with light

Here is a wonderful original statue by Fayral (also worked under the pseudonym Pierre Laurel  and his own name Pierre Le Faguays).

This is in remarkable original condition! It is shown with fabulous rose marble and original “brain” crackled glass globe. She is a lovely figure: a stunningly beautiful young woman with a short bob haircut (typical of the Roaring Twenties). She is nude to the waist with a draped skirt, The maiden in green patina is inspired from the Egyptian influence, like a hand maiden carrying water ( but in this case, a light). The piece is signed on the metal base “Fayral” and also bears the Le Verrier studio foundry stamp as well.

What a piece!

PIERRE LE FAGUAYS (FAYRAL) (1892-1962) Pierre Le Faguays was a best friend of sculptor Max Le Verrier and the “Le Verrier” foundry made most –  of Le Faguay’s pieces. Fayral and Pierre Laurel  were 2 pseudonyms he also used. Though some pieces signed Guerbe were thought to be the work of Le Faguays they were created by his wife, Raymond Guerbe.
