    Never heard of the maker but found that L.F. Grammes & Sons worked in Allentown, Pa., from 1892 to the 1960s and made metal products through the years, from practical to decorative. Seems like they did quality pieces but not many can be found online.

    The leaves have a very Danish style - lots of popularity in the late 30's and 40's.

    There has GOT to be a connection between this company and Carl Sorensen Bronze (Philly). The leaf casting is a DEAD RINGER for pieces from Sorensen, and the whole piece has a Sorensen feel but possibly newer than the marked Sorensen pieces.

    I think there may have been a vase that sat in the center at one time.

    Anyway I think checking out any connection between the two might be revealing. I can't help but think this was at least designed by Sorensen for Grammes.

    Maybe they just copied the style rather than to have been designed by Sorensen. There is no much info about Grammes and so far finding nothing about their artists.
