About Nelson & Forbes Nelson and Forbes is managed by Deborah Foster, the daughter of a portrait sculptor. Since the company started in 2009, our aim has always been to provide truly wonderful solid bronze sculpture, handmade by talented British craftsmen using traditional techniques, at a fair price. We work to do this with the sort of customer service that we love to receive, but that seems to be getting harder to find by the day and we still hold these principles very much at the heart of our business. We carefully select suppliers who share our values and we work with small, artisan British companies, bringing together and supporting the best of British handmade craftsmanship. We carefully package each sculpture ourselves into beautifully handmade gift boxes with luxurious certificates of authenticity. Each piece is carefully protected by custom made high performance shipping packaging, ensuring that it arrives with you in perfect condition. Your sculpture will arrive in a plain brown shipping carton, ensuring that the contents are kept a secret until the big day. We make it our priority to ensure that you or the lucky recipient are absolutely delighted by your sculpture and believe that a gift should bring pleasure from the moment it arrives (especially if you buy it for yourself!) Your order will be treated with the utmost individual care and delivered on a date that is convenient for you. Perhaps you would like your sculpture delivered to an alternative address to keep it a surprise, or to a loved one overseas with a heartfelt note included from you. Whatever your wish, let us know and we will be delighted to arrange it for you. We don’t like waiting in for parcels so we have made sure you don’t have to. UK deliveries receive a one hour delivery window from our courier, DPD Local, by email or text on the morning of delivery so you know when your parcel will be arriving…. and all UK deliveries are free! Saturday and Sunday weekend deliveries are also available for £8.50. If you would like to buy gift for someone overseas, we have that covered too. Let us deliver it to them on your behalf. Take advantage of our competitive delivery rates and speedy service and even enjoy VAT free prices for deliveries outside the EU. We hope you thoroughly enjoy selecting your bronze. If you have any questions or would like to discuss choosing a gift, please call us on 01442 256290. Deborah Foster Managing Director

The Casting Process Every piece created by Nelson & Forbes is cast using the ancient art of lost wax casting which can be traced back over 6000 years and remains largely unchanged from its original form. It is the process that was used to create famous sculptures across the globe including the Trafalgar Square Lions and the doors of the Bank of England. The lost wax process allows every intricate detail of a sculptor’s original but often fragile work to be perfectly recreated in bronze, ensuring that their sculpture will last a lifetime. As well as bringing longevity to the sculptor’s work, bronze as a material adds an aesthetic quality all of its own which the sculptor considers when he is creating his piece. The casting process encompasses fourteen separate steps, each undertaken by skilled craftsman with years of training and experience in his craft. Each piece takes more than two weeks to complete and every one is entirely made by hand. Every time a piece is cast a new mould is created and then destroyed. This means that whilst being utterly faithful to the artist’s original work, every piece is very slightly different to the last and therefore utterly unique. Once complete, every piece is individually numbered as one of a Limited Edition.
This
number, combined with the artist’s signature, identifies the piece for generations to come.

HandMade in britain
Every Nelson & Forbes piece is cast by hand in an British foundry before being individually numbered as one of a Limited Edition.
An edition of 250 means that there will be 250 bronze castings created of that piece and then no more will be produced.
All of our sculptures are carefully packaged in a handmade gift box, created by a family run Midlands box maker, using cutting and scoring machines that date from the 1890s. The boxes are then assembled and covered entirely by hand, using traditional techniques.
Each piece comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the artist and individually numbered. The certificates are individually printed by hand in Hampshire from an original copper plate engraving.
In an age of low cost disposable convenience, we believe in creating timeless pieces of the highest quality whilst supporting and celebrating British craftsmanship.

BRONZE VS. RESIN - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? You may have heard bronze sculptures referred to as solid bronze sculpture, foundry cast bronze sculpture or hot cast bronze sculpture. All these are accurate, as they refer to metal that has been melted at extremely high temperatures before being cast in a mould. The traditional lost wax method that we use to cast bronze metal is a highly skilled, complex, time and labour intensive process. Every part of the process requires judgement and skill on the part of the artisan, skill that can only be gained through years of experience. It also requires the creation of a new mould that is then destroyed, every time a casting is created. This, combined with the cost of the raw materials in bronze (copper and tin), gives rise to the price of a bronze sculpture. You may also have seen sculptures described as “bronze resin”, “resin”, or “cold cast bronze”. These names describe items that are made from a type of plastic (polyester, epoxy or another resin) and not from bronze (which is a metal). It is inaccurate to describe such items as bronze. The liquid resin used to create these items is typically mixed with a hardener and then poured into a mould before it sets. Bronze powder may be mixed into the resin or painted onto the surface to enable the plastic to achieve the appearance of bronze. The same mould is used over and over again, thus reducing the time and cost to produce a casting. Unlike lost wax casting, no spruing or investment is required in order to cast a resin sculpture and so the process is much faster and less expensive than that required for casting real bronze. If a sculpture feels like plastic, is lightweight, warm to the touch or can be scratched with a key (we suggest underneath if you’re going to try this!) it is more likely to be resin than bronze. If you have any questions about the difference between foundry cast bronze and bronze resin, please do get in touch. All of the sculptures we produce here at Nelson & Forbes are genuine foundry cast bronze, using the traditional lost wax method of casting. We do not produce anything in resin/cold cast bronze.

Sue maclaurin - Sculptor
Sue Maclaurin is no observer on the sidelines of nature; she is absolutely immersed in the countryside, whether in the U.K. or in the African bush, where she roamed on horseback during her school holidays.
For many years, whilst perfecting her sculpting by studying and sketching wildlife and making models for feature films, she also worked variously as a cattle farmer, gold miner and fish farmer. Even today, her skills as a saddle maker and fitter are very much in demand.
This absolute passion for the natural environment is evident in Sue’s collections of British wildlife sculpture. She perfectly captures the essence of each animal, from the twitch of a whisker to the cock of an ear and this gives her pieces a tangible life force that contributes to her work’s popularity with collectors and art lovers around the world.
Sue now lives and works from her studio in Wiltshire, surrounded, as one might expect, by her beloved English countryside.

Jonathan Sanders - Sculptor
It is unusual, even rare, for an artist to excel in more than one discipline, but that is just what Jonathan Sanders has achieved. After graduating with a Fine Art degree from North Staffordshire University, a prized career spanning more than three decades as a landscape painter followed. Notable commissions included an album cover for the band “Ladysmith Black Mambazo” and a portrait of Nelson Mandela.
With work successfully selling in galleries and well known high street stores across the U.K., Jonathan revisited his passion for sculpting and swiftly earned himself an enviable reputation as a sculptor of African and other wildlife.
His bronze sculptures are held in collections all over the world and commissions have included a portrait of Elsa the Lioness for the Born Free Foundation, as well as an eye catching life sized bronze sheep for Brooks Brothers, for display on London’s Regent Street.
Jonathan has spent many years studying the form and movement of the animals he loves in their native Africa. His deep knowledge and understanding of his subjects allows him to exquisitely capture the animal’s raw spirit and to imbue each of his pieces with an emotion that means his sculpture is highly sought after by animal lovers and collectors alike.

Original Bronze Sculpture By
Nelson & Forbes and sculptor Jonathan Sanders were invited by the Wedgwood Museum to create a range of contemporary bronze sculpture, inspired by its collections. The Wedgwood Museum Collection is a unique record of the history of the Wedgwood company. It can be traced back to the founder, Josiah Wedgwood I, who, conscious of the experimental nature of the work he was undertaking, began to keep his trials and experiments for posterity. When Jonathan Sanders visited the museum, he was particularly entranced by the Domestic Employment series of Jasperware, depicting young children going about their day to day life, typically engaged in ‘domestic employment’. The depictions are a beautiful and some might say slightly romantic view of how ordinary children experienced life in the 1780s , from the point of view of the aristocrat, Lady Elizabeth Templetown. “I couldn’t help but compare those scenes with the lives of my own children”, he says, “and was inspired to sculpt a collection of pieces of them going about their every day life today.” The resulting pieces are a depiction, by a contemporary artist, of the domestic life of today’s English child and Nelson & Forbes are proud to have the opportunity to produce them by hand in England, just as Wedgwood have done for many generations. Each piece is individually numbered and presented in a beautiful hand made gift box with a hand signed and numbered booklet of information.

Bull Elephant Maquette By Jonathan Sanders
Studio maquette Miniatures collection The Nelson & Forbes Studio Maquette Miniatures Collection features the stunning new editions of small sculptures by Jonathan Sanders and Sue Maclaurin, showcasing the artists’ brand new interpretations of some of their best loved pieces in miniature. Both artists found it satisfyingly challenging to work at this new scale as simply making an armature that is less than ten centimetres long can present some significant technical demands. However, both Jonathan Sanders and Sue Maclaurin delighted in discovering new aspects of their favourite subjects by working in this inspiring new and they are looking forward creating new pieces to add to their collections. Sculpting takes several weeks to complete, after which each maquette has a master mould made, before being carefully hand cast in our British foundry, using exactly the same traditional lost wax process that we use to hand cast all of our sculptures. Each sculpture is individually numbered as one of a limited edition of just 500 castings and bears our maker’s mark, ‘NF’, as well as the sculptor’s signature. Each piece arrives with you carefully wrapped in a velvet pouch and encased in a beautifully hand made gift box. Our luxury presentation packaging has been designed to truly delight who ever opens the box, building the excitement of what is to be found within. Accompanying your sculpture is a booklet of information, telling you everything you might like to know about your sculpture, its sculptor and how it was created. The booklet is individually numbered by hand, giving the number of your sculpture and is personally signed by the artist. The signed booklet is your guarantee that this is a genuine casting of the sculptor’s work that he or she has personally approved. The Studio Maquette Miniatures includes some gorgeous representations of some of our best loved pieces and we are proud to hand cast them using traditional techniques, before presenting them as beautifully as possible. The perfect gift for someone that you love, or maybe even yourself!

Limited edition prints
Nelson & Forbes is proud to make available Jonathan Sanders’s original sketches of his sculptures as beautiful limited edition prints. These are sketches that Jonathan Sanders created while he was working on a new sculpture, before further working on and embellishing them with colour and texture until he was satisfied that they became lovely paintings in their own right. Each image has been carefully Giclee printed in Great Britain, on high quality Innova Art Fine Art Watercolour cold press 330 gsm paper, using only Epson Ultrachrome inks which are guaranteed to be light fast for 120 years in normal viewing conditions. The prints are then carefully torn around the edges and mounted by hand on Arqadia Minuet 2000 micron acid free conservation board that complies with Fine Art Trade Guild Conservation Level framing. The image stands slightly proud of the back board upon which it was mounted, so. ‘Image size’ refers to the size of the actual water colour paper image within the mount. Once each image has been printed and mounted, it is individually signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. This is your guarantee that this is an authentic, approved print of Jonathan Sanders’s original painting. You can either choose to buy them unframed or framed in a 23mm wide bronze coloured frame, mounted behind glass. Please note that all prints are shown framed in this brochure.

KIND WORDS I just wanted to let you know that the wonderful Miniature Schnauzer sculpture has just been delivered. I couldn’t be happier with it. Thank you so much for the very professional and seamless service. It is much appreciated. Mrs. J.D. (Australia), Miniature Schnauzer I expected a fine bronze sculpture from the reviews. However the sculpture far exceeded my expectations. It is a beautiful piece of art. Will definitely be placing more orders with Nelson & Forbes. Mr. W.M., Racing Hare Delightful piece of the usual high standard from this artist and from N&F. A perfect complement to the sitting Cocker Spaniel purchased a few years ago. Mr. P.W., Standing Cocker Spaniel Thank you Debbie. I think your service is excellent. I received the Large Lying Girl yesterday and it is lovely. It was a present for my husband’s birthday and he is so happy with it. Our daughter is away at the moment travelling in Australia and your sculpture reminds us so much of her. Mrs. I.V., Large Lying Girl Hi Deborah, Mac the sitting lab arrived at my sister’s precisely on time as per the courier’s email. My sister was simply delighted and said how much the sculpture reminded her of more happy times. Thank you and your staff so much for making us all the happier! Mr. J.O. (Australia), Sitting Labrador II Present for brother who absolutely loved it. Dog has real attitude and brings a smile to his face every time he looks at. Beautifully packaged. Ms. L.L., Trotting Dachshund This was a birthday present for my wife and it added to her collection of sculptures which started with the meerkat family. The ordering is easy and the packaging fantastic. All that is needed is to attach a bow. I have no doubt that her collection will grow in the future as other sculptures join the existing in our display case. Mr. P.T., Elephant Mother & Baby Maquette I have today received my order of Large Seated Boy and Large Girl Reading Book. It was such a joy to open the beautifully packaged items with the lovely certificates of authenticity and the wonderful sculptures inside. I’m looking forward to giving the appropriate sculpture to my daughter and son for their birthday presents in September and November and am sure they will, also, appreciate the loving craftsmanship that has gone into the creation of them. Thank you for your passion and dedication and giving us such pleasure, and also for the prompt and informative delivery. S.S., Large Seated Boy and Large Girl Reading Book
