Each piece carries the slight variances and patina that come from its casting and age, making it a collectible example of decorative brass artistry from the 1990s. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1515\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(81, 185, 217);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout David Kay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Kay started the company with his wife Jennifer Kay and his sister-in-law Nancy Lindsay  in 1982 as a catalogue company \"Gifts for Home and Garden.\"The catalogue started with a curated selection that sold well, and it is assumed that success led to outsourcing of brass sculpture work to experts in India. India has a long history of expert brass making, which makes it a logical choice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA U.S. trademark for “DAVID KAY” (for direct-mail catalogs covering house \u0026amp; garden items) was filed by David Kay, Inc. in December 1990 and was registered in 1991.
