Géo Maxim (1885–1940) – Art Deco Sculptural Group In Régulé On A Marble Pedestal

A stunning Art Deco sculpted group by Géo Maxim, depicting two children playing with a ball.

This dynamic composition features a little girl leaning forward and a young boy in period attire, his leg raised toward the ball. The figures’ natural poses and the meticulous attention to detail in their clothing bring this scene, full of movement, to life.

The figures are crafted from régule, with a patina featuring bronze and gold tones. The ensemble rests on an elegant veined marble base, accented by a black border.

Three signatures or inscriptions are visible on the figures and the base.
