Commission A New Sculpture

Ballantynes of Walkerburn make some of the finest presentation sculptures available today. As well has producing our own in-house collections, we make customer specific commissions in cold cast bronze, silver and pewter. A commissioned sculpture makes a completely personal unique and lasting piece, whether for corporate gifts, awards, presentations or special events, in the UK or overseas.

Pricing and Initial Order

Producing a new sculpture is a significant investment in both time and cost, so we do not generally take on one-off commissions.

Rather than charging a separate sculpting fee, we require an initial minimum order. This is typically around 50 pieces, although it can vary depending on the project and whether it’s something we may continue to produce as part of our range.

If you’re unsure or would like to discuss an idea, we’re always happy to have a conversation.

The Sculpting Service

From our factory in the Scottish Borders we handle everything from design and sculpting, through the manufacturing process to packing and worldwide dispatch.

We’re well used to working with people, guiding you from the initial concept through to a finished piece. Using your reference material, we create a Master Sculpture for you to view, discuss and refine as the project develops.

Reference Material and the Master Sculpture

Good reference material is key. Clear photographs (ideally in colour and from multiple angles) help us capture the detail and character of the piece.

We then produce a Master Sculpture, which brings the design to life. At this stage, you can review it and request any changes before moving into production.

The image on the left shows the reference material we were sent, while the image on the right shows the Master Sculpture created from it. Once this is complete, we move into resin production.

Life Size Sculptures

We also create life-sized statues. These large scale pieces are reserved for particularly special commissions.

Production

As we produce your order, we oversee the process to ensure quality, accuracy and consistent timelines throughout. We can problem solve along the way and accommodate both small and bulk orders. Once complete, we can produce repeat orders going forward as required.
