He gained a medal of honour for his work in 1927. He was a best friend of Max Le Verrier and the Le Verrier foundry produced many of his pieces. He used 2 pseudonyms as well as his own name and they were Fayral and Guerbe. Which were the family names of his Mother and his Wife. He was a leading sculptor and his work is frequently praised for its high quality and attention to anatomical accuracy. He also produced designs for Goldscheider in Paris under the “La Stele” label. He worked in several mediums including ivory, bronze, spelter, stone, wood, alabaster and ceramics. He studied with his friend Max Le Verrier. He was a good friend of both Marcel Bouraine and Max Le Verrier and indeed the Le Verrier foundry produced many of the Le Faguays statues. All three had studied together at the Beaux Arts in Geneva and remained life-long friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo see more sculptures by Pierre Le Faguays please click \u003ca title=\"Pierre Le Faguays Art Deco Bronze\" href=\"https:\/\/hickmet.myshopify.com\/collections\/vendors?q=LE%20FAGUAYS%2C%20PIERRE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOLD ITEMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44365734674668,"sku":"20046","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2614\/8594\/files\/Bronze-1-2.jpg?v=1706965862","url":"https:\/\/hickmet.com\/products\/messenger-of-love-by-pierre-le-faguays","provider":"Hickmet Fine Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
