Amazing Art Deco Clock

[Brian Sheridan]

I found this in a local estate shop. The price tag was $1,600. So I just took the picture instead of buying it. It is made out of marble. Awesome looking.

I'll bet you could have turned a nice profit on it, of you took it to a swanky shop in NY.

Very reminiscent of Demetre Chiparus. I'll google some stuff...

Did it have any markings? Or any info from the seller?

Decoism.

That is one beautiful clock. Well worth every penny.

Chiparus

In many tourist-trap NYC "art gallery" stores, an imitation-Chiparus figurine clock is the only Deco item on view, and is always labeled as Deco.

Here's a gorgeous little auction that Sothebys had in April...
