Max Le Verrier Bronze Key Holder Vide Poche, Libra Zodiac

About the Item

Bronze by Max Le Verrier that makes a great key holder/vide-poche. The balance symbols are absolutely beautiful, they represent the Libra zodiac sign as is indicated on the bottom of this charming decorative object. One of a series of bronze dishes sculpted and cast by Max Le Verrier, this example inspired by ancient Greek coinage. Le Verrier opened his own 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. Wonderful craftsmanship.
