IVOREX PLAQUES WERE MADE IN FAVERSHAM KENT, ENGLAND BETWEEN 1899-1965 BY THE OSBORNE COMPANY FOUNDED BY ARTHUR OSBOURNE, THE INSPIRED SCULPTURER OF THE INCREDIBLE ART THAT HE NAMED IVOREX.

ONCE REMOVED FROM THE MOULDS THE PLAQUES WERE AIR DRIED IN A HEATED ROOM AND THEN FINISHED AND PAINTED BY YOUNG FAVERSHAM GIRLS USING WATERCOLOURS, JUNIOR GIRLS WOULD DO THE SIMPLER TASKS BUT FOR THE HIGHLY DETAILED WORK THE ITEMS WERE PASSED ONTO THE MORE EXPERIENCED WOMEN FOR COMPLETION. ONCE THE PAINTING HAD DRIED THE PLAQUES WERE DIPPED INTO HOT PARAFFIN WAX TO GIVE THEM THEIR CHARACTERISTIC IVORY LIKE FINISH. THIS WAS THEN BUFFED TO SHINE. SOME OF THESE PICTURES WERE PUT INTO PURPOSE BUILT, BLACK LACQUERED FRAMES.
