What are bossons?
Bossons decorative pieces were made by W.H. Bossons, Ltd., of Congleton, England between 1948 and 1996. They include wall masks (heads), animals, barometers, mirrors, thermometers, bookends, lamp bases, pottery figures and much, much more!

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGEGreetings all and welcome to our unique site that is dedicated to Bossons lovers worldwide. Whether you have one or five hundred pieces, you appreciate this art form. We want to share the many different types of artwork that were offered by the Bossons Company and its many dedicated artists. Many collectors are memorized by the eyes, others by the lifelike features of the face or the beautiful plaques featuring scenes that some only imagine. If you are interested in joining our "family" or just have a question, please feel free to contact me anytime. I may not have all the answers, but one of our knowledgeable members probably does. If you have any suggestions or recommendations we would love to hear from you. So with that behind us, please feel enjoy the website and we hope to hear from you soon.
