The Jennings Brothers Metal Foundry was opened by the three Jennings Brothers in 1890 in Bridgeport, CT. Their offices started in two small wood buildings and their foundry in a brick building. Ultimately, they expanded to a larger factory building which was located on Elm Street in Bridgeport. The firm specialized in metal art and maintained a staff of artists and sculptors to craft their metal art objects ("Nouveau" metal art) which included clocks, bookends, statues, metal cases, candelabras and some silver-plated utensils. An eye catching statue, ready to display.Check out our other antique listings.
