A rare iconic design of English Modern, The silver and black lacquered
"Le Garcon" was created in the 1984 by renowned sculptor and ceramicist Lindsey Balkweill.

This design was produced in three sizes: a table top 20 inch version, a life-size, 6 foot version and this the middle size version that clocks in at just under 40 inches. These "Le Garcon" figures were expensive when they were produced, relatively few were sold and even fewer have survived today.

The figure whimsically stands on his tip-toes, leaning backwards and holds the (removable) twelve-Inch diameter polished chrome salver, perfectly level. Supported on a two-tiered black lacquered wood pedestal base.
