10″ tall and 8.5″ across and weighing nearly 8 pounds each are these impressive Galvano or aka Pompeian bronze bookends stamped Mori of Dante sitting holding a book. The company of P. Mori and Son was founded in 1889, a metal art studio which made religious and secular sculpture using the electroformed. Electroforming had been discovered in the early 1830’s though it is believed that P. Mori and son were the first to actually use the process for a large scale commercial venture. They coined the word, “Galvano” as the trade name for the manufacturing process. The employees named the company the Pompeian Bronze Company.
