The company was launched in 2005 by Justin Williams to provide a curated selection of high quality, British-made garden sculptures and ornaments for the luxury market. Each piece is crafted from composite stone and then hand aged. In just over fifteen years, the company has sold over three hundred commissioned works of art directly to private clients in over seventeen countries worldwide. Throughout our history, we have worked with a limited number of skilled British artists and artisans to produce an exclusive collection of stonework. All of our pieces are designed and manufactured in Great Britain.
Ordinarily, our pieces begin life as pencil sketches which are the result of close collaboration between our small in-house team and our chosen artists. Once the sketches have been agreed upon, the sculptures are created in clay around an armature (metal framework skeleton) and a resin mould is then produced to faithfully duplicate every feature of the sculpture. A mix of composite stone is used to create the final product, after which it is hand aged by our team to give a warm, natural patina to the stone. This, over time, will blend organically into the location in which it is placed. Any additional elements, such as solid bronze collars on the Dogs are added before the item is prepared for shipping and installation.
Below are a number of photos documenting the process from original idea to end product and installation.
