Provenance / Acquisition: A fine and magnificent private estate in Greenwich, Connecticut Acquired from the reputable auction house Blackrock Galleries, Greenwich, Connecticut Maker: Ronson's Art Metal Works, founded by Louis V. Aronson (1869-1940) in the 1800s, was a leader and pioneer in the manufacture of fine decorative metalwares into the 1930s, producing a diverse selection of beautifully designed bookends, figural lighters, hood ornaments, figurines, lamps, and more. Dimensions: (approx) 6.5" High, 4.5" Wide, 4.5" Deep (each) History: Louis Aronson while still a student in the mid 1880s, registered his first patent for the electroplating of metal.

In 1915, he copyrighted his first pair of bookends, and by 1936 had over 150 copyrighted bookends in his company catalog. By 1928 the company was traded on the American stock exchange...
