About
Active Years: 1946–1996
Notes:
Bossons was a British manufacturer celebrated for its whimsical and highly detailed wall sculptures. Each piece was cast in plaster (chalkware) and hand-painted, often depicting animals, historical figures, or fantasy scenes. Though mass-produced, Bossons works are cherished for their charm, craftsmanship, and nostalgic appeal. The company closed in 1996, but its pieces remain popular among collectors and folk art enthusiasts.
