Large Collectible Native American Indian Chief Sculpture Signed Vaughn Kendrick

About the Item

Artfully crafted by Universal Statuary Corp this collectible Native American Indian sculpture or statue will look great in any western setting or as an educational accessory for children. Designed by Vaughn Kendrick in 1973. Signed. Striking details. Would look great on any table, stand or shelf. Measures: 14" wide x 14" deep x 18.75" high Universal Statuary Corp. was an American, Chicago-based, statue manufacturer.[1] Jack and Leo Lucchesi were brothers that founded the Universal Statuary Corp in the 1930s. Jack ran the business, Leo ran production. The company produced piggy banks, plaques and (by the late 1930s) large store displays, including Indian statues for western themed restaurants. In the 1950s, they produced chalkware lamps, usually featuring paired male and female figures, and other home decor that is widely collected today. The company employed many immigrant artisans to design the chalkware and plaster figures and produce the statues, lamps, home decor pieces and display advertising figures. Jack's wife was from Guatemala. Universal made a concerted effort to bring Italian and Guatemalan immigrants to America and help them out. Universal began in a multi-story Chicago Ave. where they made mostly plaster / chalkware products. In the 1950s they moved to a new second single story building located on Ogden Ave., where they began working with experimental composites. There they transitioned from chalk ware to resins and came up with a material "FiberClad InFrangible", and guaranteed it would not break or chip.
