Le Verrier, Max (1891-1973), French sculptor, publisher and founder. A major signature of the Art Deco movement in France, Max Le Verrier created a number of creations in the 1920s and 1930s, including lamps featuring young women and animal subjects (marabouts, monkeys with umbrellas, mouflons, etc.).
