Director’s Choice - A Timeless Art Deco Masterpiece
This week’s Director’s Choice focuses on an object of vertu so perfect and jewel-like, the epitome of all that was so wonderful about the Art Deco period.
An elegant combination of geometric angular shapes, combining carved jade with gold and perfectly selected striated mother-of-pearl to form an octogram on the face of the clock resting on the stem inlaid with lapis lazuli, malachite, onyx and cabochon sapphires. The stepped onyx base has further gold feet.
The gold mount is signed Lacloche Frères, and the gold touch marks are those of Verger Frères.
