Sir William H. Thornycroft Horticulture, Garden Prize relief wall hangingc. 1921
c. 1921
About the Item
A unique wall piece that is a great gift for any avid gardener or lover of horticulture. Sit Hamo Thornycroft would become one of the youngest members of the Royal Academy, achieve the Medal of Honour at the Paris Exhibition in 1900, and be knighted in 1917. Working in a transitional style between that of the neo-classicists of his parent’s generation and the Modernist style of the 20th century, Thornycroft carved out a niche as a figurative sculptor and noted modeler of public monuments in and around London.
Toogoods and Sons, Ltd, established in the early nineteenth century, had, by the turn of the century, grown to become the largest seed company in the United Kingdom. In the early 1890s they began to commission bronze plaques to be given as prizes (provided you used Toogoods products) for horticultural excellence at trade shows and garden expositions.
The bronze plaque measures 11.25 x 6.75 inches.
A marvelous and unique item to hang on the wall of any avid gardener or horticulture lover!
