Mark Jones Antiques has dated this Juno Ludovisi Bronze Bust to the 1870s.
A rare subject for this type and quality of production.
The electrotype process, dominated by Elkington & Co. from circa 1850, was a way of casting pure metal by electrolysis. The firm exhibited King of Gwent at The Great Exhibition of 1851 as a demonstration of the technique, and successfully competed for the contract for most of the 18th century statues for the chamber of the new House of Lords in the 1850s. The National Portrait Gallery commissioned a range of electrotypes from the firm between 1869 and 1881.
