About the Item

“Lueur Jade” by Max Le Verrier – A Timeless Art Deco Masterpiece Experience the refined elegance of the Art Deco era with “Lueur Jade,” an extraordinary sculpture by the iconic Max Le Verrier. First designed in 1928, this work stands as a testament to the creative brilliance of Le Verrier, who meticulously captured the dynamic beauty of the female form. A smaller version n of his career-defining piece “Clarté,” “Lueur Jade” replaces the lighted glass ball with a striking 5 cm jade sphere, offering a distinct sense of opulence and timeless sophistication. This sculpture showcases a poised woman balancing gracefully on her feet, her arms extended to present the jade ball in a gesture of elegance and poise. The striking bob haircut and streamlined design reflect the aesthetics of the Jazz Age, while the sculpture’s inspiration draws from three different live models, including an Afro-American dancer from Josephine Baker’s legendary revue. This unique backstory adds cultural richness to its visual appeal. Handcrafted from patinated spelter (French: régule) and mounted on a luxurious black marble base, “Lueur Jade” radiates a timeless charm. The green patina finish, achieved through artisanal techniques, ensures that each piece is unique, while the jade ball adds a layer of natural beauty and sophistication. The veining of the marble base varies naturally, making every sculpture one-of-a-kind. Whether displayed on a console table, sideboard, or as a centerpiece in a luxurious living space, “Lueur Jade” adds an unmistakable aura of Art Deco glamour. Its historical significance and captivating form make it an essential addition for collectors and enthusiasts of 20th-century design. Dimensions: • Width: 18 cm • Height (with jade ball): 33.5 cm • Height (without jade ball): 29 cm • Depth: 10 cm (socle) • Diameter of jade ball: 5 cm Materials: • Patinated spelter (régule) • Black marble base (with unique veining) • Jade ball Celebrate the legacy of Max Le Verrier with this iconic sculpture that combines artistry, craftsmanship, and the enduring allure of the Art Deco movement. “Lueur Jade” is not just a decorative object but a piece of history, a timeless investment in beauty and design.
