Commissioned Pieces

Sometimes clients find that the right size, shape or a quantity of a piece is just too elusive to find, here is where I can solve the problem. 

I will accept commissions to produce either single or multiple copies of your requirements, for instance for use within building refurbishments.

Most antique styles can be reproduced using my large collection of moulds, which I have built up over the years.

I produce the reproductions using the same traditional methods and materials that I use in my restoration work.

I also undertake just gilding work.
