Pierre Le Faguays Furniture
French, 1892-1962
Pierre Le Faguays was a master at capturing the minute details of the female form in motion. His exceptional Art Deco style transcended sculptures with stunning table lamps, desk accessories and home accents. Le Faguays’s quality is remarkable, and his distinctive pieces are rare, making his works of art highly collectible.
Born in 1892, in Rezé, France, Le Faguays received formal training both in Paris and Switzerland. In Geneva, he met Marcel Bouraine and Max Le Verrier. The three remained lifelong friends, and together founded the Le Verrier foundry, which produced many of Le Faguays’s pieces. Le Faguays was a member of several artist groups, including La Stele, Evolution and the Salon, and designed many pieces for Goldscheider under the La Stele label.
Not all of Le Faguays’s pieces have a stamp with his name. Le Faguays used two other pseudonyms, Raymond Guerbe and Fayral, the family names of his wife and mother. While the name stamps differ, the style remains the same. Le Faguays used a range of media, such as spelter, stone, wood, alabaster, ceramics, terracotta, pâte de verre, zinc and wrought iron. His most popular items were portrayals of dancers sculpted in ivory and bronze.
Le Faguays was recognized with numerous awards and exhibitions. His works were on display at Le Salon d’Automne in 1920 and the Salon of French Artists in 1922. In 1925, Arthur Goldscheider’s pavilion showed his work at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts. In 1927, he received the French Medal of Honor and an honorable mention at Le Salon des Artistes Français. In 1937, the Exposition Internationale in Paris exhibited his work. He was a member of the Legion of Honor and the Order of Leopold.

Louis Octave Maxime Le Verrier was born to a jeweler father. His interest in the arts, and especially in drawing and sculpture, came early in his life. His father wanted his son to work in agriculture: he sent him to an agricultural school, against Le Verrier's wishes. He quickly gave up and his father emancipated him.
In 1909, Max Le Verrier left for England and became interested in aviation. He passed his military exam and was sent to the front in 1915. As a pilot and non-commissioned officer, he began painting and sculpting in earnest, and met artists such as Bardin. He entered the School of Fine Arts in Geneva.
After the armistice, Le Verrier returned to Paris, opened a studio and made his first axe sculpture, "Pelican", in the style of the 1925s. It is signed "Artus", pseudonym of the artist.
In 1919, it is the creation of his publishing house, following a great success. He ensures himself the casting, the chasing, the patina, and the sale of the works. Seven years later, he opens his own company. The success is present, the company grows, workers are hired.
Through his sculptures, Le Verrier translates the fashions of the time, including the liberalization of women, with his famous "Clarity", from 1928, which represents the woman in the "garçonne" (short hair,...). His source of inspiration comes from the woman mainly, by realizing dancers, gymnasts. In parallel to this theme, he approaches that of animals.
Other dancers and men, Le Verrier realizes chandeliers, feet of lamps, bookends ...
During the Second World War, the artist was a member of the Resistance and therefore temporarily closed the workshop.
After the liberation, he took over the business, and oriented it towards the creation of bronze objects: ashtrays, religious articles...
