Ivorex 3D sculpture of the “Mission San Gabriel” is ready to hang amount your favorite wall art collection. In wonderful vintage condition.
Ivorex looks like stone or ivory but is made of plaster of Paris, which has been hand-painted, dipped in wax, and polished. The process was developed by Osborne. He was born in England and emigrated to the United States. Ivorex plaques were made in Faversham, Kent, England at 83 Abbey Street between 1899 and 1965 by the B. Osborne Company, founded by Arthur Osborne, the inspired sculptor of the incredible art that he named Ivorex.
It was during 1943 that Arthur Osborne was taken ill and in November of that year, sadly died, for the unique Ivorex industry of Faversham, already ailing, this was a blow that would prove hard to recover from.
This plaque is in excellent condition with only a small chip near the bottom and difficult to find.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Mission San Gabriel Arcángel was founded in 1771 and continues to serve as the cornerstone for the Catholic faith community in Los Angeles County. We are a richly diverse parish stewarded by the Claretian Missionaries of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and called to respond to the needs of our community through love, justice and peace less
