A Bit of History: Armor Bronze, formerly known as The National Metalizing Company, stopped producing in the late 1940s. The company was based in New York and New Jersey when it began in 1910, and moved to Massachusetts in the 1930s. Armor Bronze was known for its art objects, lamps, and statuary, which were often inspired by Art Nouveau and Art Deco designs. The company used a polychrome coloring process that originated in ancient Egypt and China, and sometimes incorporated hand-etched sgraffito. Armor Bronze was especially well-known for its bookends, which depicted a variety of subjects. Bronze-clad, a manufacturing process by which a skin of bronze was deposited on a plaster form through electroplating. 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.
