Deco Interiors has dated this piece to the 1930s.
The figure is signed 'Fayral' on the reverse. Fayral was a pseudonym used by Pierre Le Faguays (1892 - 1962).
A French sculptor of lithe female figures, monuments, ceramics and figurative lamps working in Art Deco style, Pierre Le Faguays captured public attention with his early exhibitions of exuberant dancing figures, inspired by the statues of Tanagra, a community north of Athens known for mass produced terracotta figurines.
Le Faguays was a native of Nantes, France.
His mediums included ivory, wood, stone and bronze. In 1927, he was awarded the French Medal of Honor.
