Growing the Collection
We are constantly adding to our current collection of pieces, which are featured under New Products Available.
Why do you add some new pieces after the Capronis’ time?
You may see a few casts in our current collection that were added after the Caproni family sold the company in the 1930s. We continue to add pieces today, but we put a lot of thought into this action. If we have an item we are considering, we determine if it would fit in well with the original P.P. Caproni and Brother offerings. We judge possible additions critically for artistry and quality before determining whether to include them in the Caproni Collection. These pieces were created up until the early 20th century or so and include traditional figurative sculpture and ornamentation.
Do you ever create any new sculptures for the collection?
At times, our team of in-house artists may create a sculpture. One reason is if numerous customers have put in a request. For example, in the late 2010s our collection gained three geometric shapes and a reduction of our large Alexander Hamilton bust. P.P. Caproni and Brother often sculpted or created life-casts of desirable artist studies, which we will continue to do. In regards to reductions like the Hamilton bust, Caproni and Brother periodically created their own reductions of pieces, such as the Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Melo, and we are continuing that tradition. The original collection formed around sculptures and artist studies that were famous or in vogue at the time, and we realize the need to evolve the collection where appropriate. We also welcome opportunities to include sculptures and portraits that are more inclusive as a whole.

How do customers know if they’re purchasing a sculpture from the original Caproni catalogs or a more contemporary addition?
As you browse through the Caproni Collection's offerings, you will find that most pieces have a notation as to their original P.P. Caproni and Brother catalog number. The lack of a Caproni and Brother number signals the later introduction of the item. You will also find some pieces with a notation as to their Giust Gallery catalog number, which means the item was added to the collection between the 1970s and 1990s.
