Every Ballantynes sculpture is completely handmade and finished to the highest possible quality.
All our sculptures come attached to a wooden base. We offer the choice of a presentation base, or you can upgrade to one of our fine Mahogany bases.
Complete your piece by adding a brass plaque to the front of the base, personalised with your own message!
We have three finish options:
Cold Cast Antique Bronze – This is our most popular style. The sculpture is made with powdered bronze added into the composite. Then it is buffed and polished to highlight the bronze. The colour is similar to that of a Victoria Cross Medal.
Hand Painting – The sculptures are cast in a white ‘China clay’ finish. They are then hand painted using a combination of air brushing and hand application. We use high quality oil paints, that are designed to our particular specification. We add in shading and distressing to achieve a realistic effect before applying a 20% satin over-finish to protect the piece from the effects of time.
Electroformed Silver – Our Electroformed Silver Sculptures make magnificent pieces. We take a China white casting and cover it in a thick (300) micron layer of pure sterling silver. Before the items are hand polished to achieve a high shine. These pieces require a clean every so often with a silver polish such as ‘Silvo’. These pieces are presented on a Mahogany or Granite base. Complete with a Silver plaque on the front.
In an effort to be more sustainable we've had our outer packaging redesigned to be fully recyclable. Every statue comes in a simple elegant printed brown box with printed fabric tape.
Inside the box the statue will be protected with bubble wrap and special foam bags to minimise the chance of damage in transit.

Double-check your engraving before sending - any mistakes will mean we need to make a new plate.
