One of Salems most talented crafting families was named Symonds. It included English joiner John Symonds ca. Their more modern descendant is Sarah Symonds, a sculptor, artist and craftsman who was born in Victorian Salem in 1870, five years after the Civil War ended in 1865. She is thought to have been in the ninth generation of descent from patriarch John, last in a local line that included John b. 1841 and Sarah b. Her pieces made commercially for sale in Salem after about 1905 were typically made through a complex series of stages, involving evidently the crafting of a clay original model, the painting on of a latex or liquid molding compound, the pouring of new plaster casts in latex molds, and the painting of finished plaster casts. From her casts and models, she also produced ornamental painted items made of cast iron like the fantastic antique original doorstop listed here. The bulk of Sarahs crafted products were Salem souvenirs and promotional items, including finely detailed casts representing the House of the Seven Gables, the John Ward House, the Peirce Nichols House, and buildings on Salems Chestnut Street. She produced three-dimensional models in the round as well as many three dimensional pictures which were indented bas-relief plaques showing perspective interior and exterior Salem.
