Our Benjamin Franklin pewter bust makes a striking addition to a patriotic sculpture collection. Made in the U.S.A., it is a stunning tribute to a fascinating Founding Father who lived an extraordinary life of many great accomplishments and helped shape our nation’s rich history.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the leading intellectuals of his time and one of the most consequential individuals of the 18th century. As a thinker, Franklin espoused the virtues of Puritanism while championing the tolerant values of the Enlightenment. As a diplomat, he petitioned the English Parliament on tax grievances and advanced relations with the French, securing their military aid for the war against England. He was a writer, scientist, statesman, and political philosopher. As one of the Founding Fathers, he helped draft and signed the Declaration of Independence. As an inventor, his greatest creation was arguably the United States of America.
