From the Web:
The Boehm Showroom, LLC has taken over the legacy of a world renowned company with over six decades of rich history. Exquisite Boehm porcelain hand made sculptures have been owned by United States Presidents, royalty, foreign heads of state, and are displayed in museum collections worldwide.
In 2015, the Museum of American Porcelain Art in Cleveland, Ohio, purchased the assets of the Boehm Porcelain Company. The Boehm Showroom, LLC has exclusive use of those assets including the original molds and various trademarks.
Classic porcelains, once again will be available to the public. Original molds are poured, pieces assembled and painted by the original artists, making these stunning Boehm porcelain sculptures and figures practically come to life before you. We continue the legacy that Edward Marshall Boehm and Helen Boehm began in 1950.
“I want people to see the meticulous nature of beautiful work and be inspired by it.”
Richard A. Barone – Chairman – American Museum of Porcelain Art
