Superb and large wall-mounted model depicting The Horses of Apollo, iconic work by the French sculptor Max Le Verrier, a major figure of Art Deco.

Condition
Good overall structural condition.
Presence of traces of oxidation and wear visible at the center of the composition, consistent with age and exposure to humidity.

This model is among the most sought-after mythological compositions by the artist.
Its 33 cm size, rarer than the small models, makes it a striking decorative piece, ideal for an Art Deco interior or a specialized collection.
