Icarus Subject with green patina by Max Le Verrier Art Deco 1930 Black marble M1586 This subject is one of Max Le Verrier's best known, it does not bear a signature, but no doubt, it is indeed an authentic piece from the Max Le Verrier house. It is in spelter, or cast iron, with a nuanced green patina, the whole rests on a black marble base with three terraces. It represents Icarus. In Greek mythology, Icarus is the son of the Athenian architect Daedalus and Naupacta, a Cretan slave. He is known primarily to have died after flying too close to the Sun while escaping the Labyrinth with wings created by his father out of wax and feathers. The patina of this subject is sumptuous, it presents several original colors, green, nuanced brown. The room is impressive. This subject is one of the most sought after by Max Le Verrier. Ours is presented in an excellent state of conservation. We report minimal patina wear very inconspicuous, some chips on the marble. The set is in superb condition.
