I have been associated with History Craft (Cirencester) for over 25 years and am now working with the third owner. The original company was started by Leigh Chapman over 50 years ago making replicas of items from resin when museums wanted things for their gift shops. He created things like faux scrimshaw whale’s teeth, fossils and even some smaller sculptures. My husband Bill got chatting to Leigh in the local post office and that is how it all started. Leigh is long since retired and History Craft have broadened their range to include things like chess sets and even a Viking game. The Cross Stitch Guild are very much still customers and if you look at the CSG website and click on Accessories, you will see the faux ivory items they have.
