That was the name given the sailors of the nineteenth century who etched and carved exquisite designs on Ivory during their long whaling expeditions. These ornaments are on a polymer which allows the reproduction of the art without encroaching upon whales and other endangered species. Each piece is hand cast, inked and polished individually.
Some pieces reflect historic designs the sailors perfected with primitive style artistic talent.
Others capture the details of life surrounding us today. 508 778-5200 Voice .
