Beautiful Armor Bronze clad figural girl (may be a boy) and dog inkwell with an Armor Bronze stamp. The child is fighting a puppy who has got hold of his or her clothing. A cover tops the glass ink pot inserted in the base.
<p>Armor Bronze made plaster molds and dipped them into a bronze galvanizing solution. It was done with long metal wicks in the bases. When the bronze clad cooled, the metal wicks were cut off leaving a small depression in the base with the remnants of the wick. This process was very expensive. And because it's so expensive no reproductions have been produced. At least we don'
t know of any.
<p>Signed S. Morani with a shield mark which we believe is the Armor Bronze Co., both as shown in the last photo.<p>Circa early 1900s
<p>Measures 8-1/2 x 5 x 7 inches tall.
<p>Very good condition. No cracks, repairs or other damage found.
<p>Please see our inventory for more bronze sculptures. As well as unique items and antiques
of all kinds.
