Frederick Ziegler was born in 1881 and was a contract artist used by the Gorham Company foundry in Providence Rhode Island at the turn of the century. He produced bronze sculptures that were sold by Gorham through their store for several years. Very little is known or has been written about this very competent American sculptor. This portrait of a Chow Chow is a very well executed bronze sculpture.It is finished the deep brown patina used by the Gorham Company on their bronzes just after the turn of the century.
