This exquisite Art Deco mantle clock, crafted in France circa 1930, is a celebration of both fine craftsmanship and the glamorous aesthetics of the Art Deco period. With a design attributed to the style of the renowned sculptor Demétre Chiparus, this piece captures the opulence and elegance synonymous with the era. The clock features a seated bronze figure of a flapper, a quintessential symbol of 1920s and 1930s modernity and liberation. The finely detailed bronze figure exudes grace and poise, embodying the spirit of the Jazz Age with her chic, carefree demeanor. The artistry of her sculptural form reflects the influence of Chiparus, with his signature combination of elongated lines, delicate detailing, and dynamic poses. The base of the clock is crafted from tesselated onyx and black marble, presenting a luxurious and geometric design typical of Art Deco. The polished black marble creates a striking contrast to the warm tones of the onyx, providing a richly textured foundation for the bronze figure and clock face. This mantle clock serves as both a statement timepiece and a work of art. It would make a breathtaking addition to a living room, study, or entryway, bringing a touch of 1930s French glamour and timeless sophistication to any space.
