ABOUT:
Fisk Metallic Burial Cases were created and patented by Almond Dunbar Fisk in 1848 in Queens, NY.
Almond was originally a stove manufacturer. His brother passed away far from home, and back in those days it was impossible to transport a body hundreds of miles to have a burial in their home town.
Almond created the Fisk coffins to be air tight, so the deceased could be transported long distance, fully preserved, back to their family.
A 3 inch tall replica of a Fisk coffin was created into a pendant using a process called electroform; depositing pure copper plating onto items using chemicals and electricity.
The finished copper piece was then plated over with a thick layer of fine silver.
This piece has been 3D scanned from the original salesman’s sample paperweight that resides in my personal collection.
This piece is tumble polished, a darkening patina has been added to bring out the details, lacquered, and suspended from an 18 inch chain.
*Please note that patina color may vary slightly*
Your necklace will be beautifully packaged so it is ready to give as a gift or to keep as a treasured adornment for yourself.
