Description
Max (Louis Octave Maxime) Le Verrier (France, 1891-1973) Art Deco patinated bronze figural lamp "Clarte" depicting a nude female in a verdigris patina with outstretched arms holding a globe lamp and mounted on a stepped black octagonal base. Signed on the back of the base "Le Verrier". 24" H x 14 1/2" D. 20th century. Provenance: a Middle Tennessee estate, by descent from Thomas G.B. Wheelock. Note: Thomas G.B. Wheelock was known as an astute collector of African Art and co-author of the book "Land of the Flying Masks: Art & Culture in Burkina Faso". He also inherited a sizeable collection of Asian, British, and military related antiques from his grandparents, Gilded Age tycoon George Briggs Buchanan of New York, and William and Margaret Wheelock, who owned a Scottish manor home known as Bunker Hill. (Margaret Carmichael Wheelock was also a founding partner of the fashion firm Farquharson & Wheelock in New York).
