Bromsgrove Guild
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts (1898-1966) was a company of modern artists and designers associated with the Arts and Crafts movement, founded by Walter Gilbert. The guild worked in metal, wood, plaster, bronze, tapestry, glass and other mediums. [1]
The Guild received a Royal Warrant in 1908. [2]
The Guild's most famous works on public display are probably the main gates of Buckingham Palace.
Unlike many other Arts & Crafts companies that faded away after a few decades, for instance the William Morris company, the Bromsgrove Guild survived until the early 1960s.
