Art Déco table clock with male figurine
Clock made of opalescent glass
Dimensions: 37 x 64 x 14 cm (height x width x depth)
Good original condition, fully functional

This male figurine seems to brace his feet against the clock made of opalescent glass. The clock has the shape of a rock. Already in Art Nouveau the seemingly controlled and static postures of the figures increasingly separated from typically floating forms. Now in the time of the Art Déco the bodies of the figures are opening up and often move in dynamic ways. Thus, the artists reach an interesting silhouette that applied exactly to the taste of the time. The flat form of the base is reinforcing the dynamism of the figure striving to its left. The French sculptor Pierre Le Faguays, also known under his pseudonyms Fayral and Guerbe, created the figure around 1925 in France.



The object is in good condition with minimal traces of age and wear. The clockwork is operated with electricity. It has two light sources. The clock is fully functional. We do not guarantee functionality, long-term precision and regularity. The total dimensions are 37 x 64 x 14 cm (height x width x depth).



Pierre Le Faguays

The French sculptor Pierre Le Faguays (1892-1962) was one of the most versatile sculptors of his time. His works were much sought after, this is why he created a large quantity of sculptures, especially allegorical and mythological figures, warriors and nude dancers in the time between the two World Wars.
