Garden Sculpture:A rare Bromsgrove Guild composition stone statue of Pan early 20th century 232cm.; 91½ins high The Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts was established in 1894 by Walter Gilbert who took over a foundry in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. It was first involved with decorative ironwork, but the business soon expanded into a great many other fields. By 1900 Gilbert had gone into partnership with a Mr McCandlish and had taken over further premises in the town which housed bronze and lead foundries, as well as wood and stone carving studios. By 1908 they had established an outlet in London, and as a result of their most famous commission, the iron and bronze gates outside Buckingham Palace, they were issued with a Royal Warrant appointing them metal workers to Edward VII (an honour repeated two years later under George V). Unlike the majority of other contemporary English manufacturers of garden ornaments most of the Guild~s figurative subjects were modelled in the popular styles of the day. In 1921 the Guild became a limited company, but by this date some of the members had left to start companies of their own. However the Guild continued to produce a variety of garden ornaments for many years finally closing in 1966. As well as making garden ornament in lead, the company also produced a range of ornament in composition stone. This figure of Pan appears in their 1908 Catalogue of garden ornament as No 1 and was one of their most popular models. Literature: John Davis, Antique Garden Ornament, pp.313-316.
