About the Item
Art Deco sculpture, French figurative sculpture, 1920s decorative art – this original piece by Max Le Verrier captures the masculine ideal in motion. Titled Spartiate, the dynamic archer is shown in a moment of perfect tension, just before release, his muscular anatomy meticulously rendered in fine Régule (spelter). This material, prized in the Art Deco era for its ability to capture lifelike facial features and anatomical details, here serves as a canvas for the deep green patina, which has gracefully aged over time. Subtle signs of wear and a delicate crackle in the patina underscore its vintage authenticity.
The sculptor’s sensitivity to form and motion is apparent in every detail — from the expressive hands to the taut musculature and the energetic contrapposto of the figure. The slightly asymmetrical pose, the modernist abstraction of the drapery, and the confident reduction of detail all speak to the 1920s Art Deco aesthetic. The bow, crafted in metal and deliberately stringless, echoes historical models of the piece — it was conceived without an arrow.
The sculpture rests on a stylized, stepped sandstone that echoes architectural volumes of the period. The original Max Le Verrier signature is embedded in the side of the plinth — an important detail for collectors and connoisseurs.
An evocative, museum-worthy piece that adds drama, history, and refinement to any interior, whether curated or contemporary.

Max Le Verrier
Max Le Verrier was born on January 29, 1891, in Neuilly-sur-Seine. He opened his studio in 1919 and won a medal at the famed 1925 Exposition in Paris that gave Art Deco its name. Later, he established a foundry that cast bronze sculptures for Pierre Le Faguays and Marcel Bourain, among others. Although Le Verrier experimented with other alloys, he continued to create pieces in bronze as well. Le Verrier died on June 6, 1973, in Paris.
