Size: 9 1/2 x 11 x 16 3/4 in. #1050 Universal Statuary Corp. was an American, Chicago-based, statue manufacturer. Jack and Leo Lucchesi were brothers that founded the Universal Statuary Corp in the 1930s. Jack ran the business, Leo ran production. The company produced piggy banks, plaques and (by the late 1930s) large store displays, including Indian statues for western themed restaurants. In the 1950s, they produced chalk ware lamps, usually featuring paired male and female figures, and other home decor that is widely collected today. The company employed many immigrant artisans to design the chalk ware and plaster figures and produce the statues, lamps, home decor pieces and display advertising figures. Jack's wife was from Guatemala. Universal made a concerted effort to bring Italian and Guatemalan immigrants to America and help them out. Universal was also famous for the contract work performed for Sears, Wards and many big advertising firms for their unique 'Point Of Sale' displays and promotions.
