Borghese Cast Plaster Art Panels ... so sweet!

4 Borghese cast plaster panels, ~8.5x7, available at auction on eBay for the next 10 days

Once again, the fascinating items brought in by our consignors come with history lessons. These 4 charming panels were made in the USA, likely in around 1930-1940, by a company named Borghese. Rather than re-phrase it all, let me refer you to a very readable and thorough article by another eBay seller, Uncle Griff, at this link.

After reading his brief history of the company and their wares, I'm intrigued to find that these ornate, gilded panels aren't more prevalent on the internet market. Could it be these are Rare? Or folks just don't want to part with them.

I enjoyed the excuse to research hair styles and fashions in order to pin a decade on each of the portraits. You can read a synopsis of what I found in each panel's ebay listing. Here's that link.

Enjoy!
