Reacquiring Lost Casts
We are constantly adding to our current collection of pieces, which are featured under New Products Available.
How can an item be "new" when your pieces are from vintage molds and casts?
We currently offer about 700 pieces in a wide range of sizes that span from ancient art to art of the early 20th century. At the height of the P.P. Caproni and Brother company's success, the collection consisted of around 4,000 pieces. Many pieces and molds were lost during its decline in the middle of the 20th century. Beginning with previous owner Lino Giust, we have been rebuilding the collection through such means as auctions and donations of Caproni casts. When we acquire a cast that will be reintroduced into the collection, we restore it if necessary. Then we make a negative mold of it and from this mold, plaster reproductions can be cast. These casts are essentially new to you and us!

De-molding a cast
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.
