About the Item
Max Le Verrier “PLEIN GAZ” – Art Deco Paperweight & Radiator Mascot
A tribute to speed, precision, and the golden age of motoring, “PLEIN GAZ” – French for “Full Throttle” – captures the intense focus and aerodynamic elegance of the 1920s. Originally designed by renowned French sculptor Max Le Verrier, this striking Art Deco piece is both a collector’s radiator mascot and a sophisticated desk accessory.
Handcrafted in the Max Le Verrier atelier in Paris during the 2020s, this edition stays true to the sculptor’s original 1920s vision. The bust of a driver, stylized in that unmistakable geometric Art Deco fashion, is portrayed with a stern, forward-leaning expression — a symbol of control, concentration, and the era’s infatuation with motion and modernity.
Resting on a sleek black marble base, the figure is cast in régule (spelter) with a distinctive green patina, applied by hand for a finish rich in character and depth.
A Gift of Style and Passion
Whether you’re shopping for a motorsport enthusiast, a classic car lover, or treating yourself to a piece of decorative history, PLEIN GAZ makes an unforgettable statement. As a paperweight, it anchors your workspace with vintage flair and purpose. As a sculpture, it channels the romance of early racing and the artistry of French design.

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.
