Demétre Chiparus (1886 - 1947)
Born in Dorohoi, Romania, Chiparus left Romania 1909 and went to Italy, where he attended the classes of Italian sculptor Raffaello Romanelli. In 1912 he traveled to Paris to attend the École des Beaux Arts and studied under Antonin Mercié and Jean Boucher, exhibiting at the Salon from 1914. His works in the 1920s were heavily influenced by the excavation of the tombs in Egypt and the Ballet Russe. He worked in bronze, ivory, ceramic and spelter and he is now considered one of the most important (and well known) of the sculptors associated with the Art Deco era.
Les Neveux de J. Lehmann
The bronze foundry was run by brothers Jules and Hugo Levy in Paris. They were very active during the 1920s and 30s producing statuettes and decorative objects by sculptors such as Descomps, Aurore Onu, Bouraine, Gennarelli and Le Faguays.
