Art Deco female figure - Sculpture bookends, France, 1920s. Pair of female bookends in silver plated finish, great pose in the Art Deco style, made in France.

Very finely crafted bronze sculpture from the period of French Art Deco. Attributed to the sculptur Max Le Verrier. The antelope is jumping, the dynamics and movement of the animal is very well captured in the depiction. The bronze is brown, the horns a little darker. The object rests on a stepped natural stone base which gives the whole a special sophistication. Biography Louis Octave Maxime Le Verrier, short Max Le Verrier (born January 29, 1891 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France; † June 6, 1973 in Paris, France) was a French sculptor. Le Verrier was the son of a Parisian goldsmith and jeweler; his mother was from Belgium. His parents separated when he was seven years old. He attended several boarding schools, including the École des Roches in Verneuil-sur-Avre. Against Max's wishes, his father sent him to study agriculture at Saint-Sever and La Réole. At the age of 16, he returned to Paris and took odd jobs to avoid working in agriculture. In 1909, he left France and moved to London for a short time, where he found it difficult to find work. Le Verrier worked at a flying school in Rendon, where he first serviced aircraft and then earned his pilot's license in 1913. During World War I, he saw action in a French bomber squadron beginning in February 1915. On May 25, 1915, he was shot down in a dogfight by a German fighter plane...
