‘Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the Stability of

‘Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the Stability of Thy Time’ Isaiah 33:6. Created by American architectural sculptor, Lee Lawrie together with Léon-Victor Solon. The son of an employee at the famed Mintons factory in Stoke on Trent, Solon and the factory’s artistic director, Léon Arnoux, he was credited with bringing Art Nouveau design and Viennese Secessionist designs to the Minton collections. In 1909 he emigrated to America. He specialised in polychroming - “the practice of decorating architectural elements, sculpture, etc., in a variety of colours”.

Today we still enjoy his wonderful vision.
