Antique Lion Big Cat Bookend Pompeian Bronze Clad
Bronze-clad, a manufacturing process by which a skin of bronze was deposited on a plaster form through electro-plating. A handful of companies used this method in the early 1900s to make decorative household objects that had the look, feel, and heft of solid bronze yet were affordable by the middle class. One of those companies was Pompeian Bronze, operating in NYC in the 1920s.
