Morris Singer

Morris Singer is a British art foundry, established in 1848, famous for its sculptures, including Eros, the lions at Trafalgar Square and the doors to the Bank of England, plus also the figures of Henry Moore.[1]

Morris Singer was established in 1848 in Frome by John Webb Singer, as the Frome Art Metal Works and is now based in Braintree, Essex.[2]

Morris Singer was responsible for creating Paul Day's statue "The Meeting Place", located in London's St Pancras railway station.

In 2010 Morris Singer went into administration, and was purchased by the artist Nasser Azam. It was subsequently relaunched as the Zahra Modern Art Foundry.
