"Pluie" Table Lamp/Sculpture by Max Le Verrier Signed "Le Verrier"
About the Item
Max LE VERRIER creates his monkey with an umbrella, in front of the cages of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.
His model, a three-year-old chimpanzee, had the pretty name of BOUBOU. A great friendship was born between the monkey and the artist, passionate about animals...
BOUBOU, held by the keeper outside the cage, agreed to pose in exchange for bananas. Every morning, he looked towards the entrance waiting for the one who was going to immortalize him in bronze...
Max received a medal for this sculpture at the Salon des Humoristes in 1927.

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.
