AN ART DECO MANTEL CLOCK BY CHIPARUS 1920’s. ONE OF MOST FAMOUS SCULPTURES OF THE ERA. The clockworks are by Marti. The dial is by Vappereau of Orleans, France. See last photo of dial restoration. Chiparus, also known as Lullier, was a world-famous sculptor and designer of the period for statues and Art Deco Mantle clocks. This rare vintage beauty contains a just-serviced and rebuilt mechanism by the Gold Medalist Marti.
