Austin Productions began manufacturing reproductions of classical Egyptian, Greek and Roman sculptures in 1952 in Brooklyn, New York, and shortly thereafter expanded into African, Asian and contemporary pieces. The company expanded into importing and manufacturing home furnishings and decorative sculptures for the home, with a product line that included wall decorations, mirrors and clocks in addition to sculptures for homes, gardens and offices.
The company remains best known for its hand-cast Durastone and bronze reproductions and hand-painted marble pieces and eventually began producing more contemporary subjects, such as modern sports, movies and popular cartoon characters. Austin Productions developed a reputation for high-quality reproductions that became collectible despite high production. The company has reproduced thousands of pieces over the years, and older pieces have a high collectible value.
The company discontinued its entire line in 2009, creating an active market of dealers and collectors who wanted to complete collections before the items were no longer available.
