With Autumn truly upon us I have been waiting for a crisp, dry! day to photograph in stock and available Handmade Collection items – please see all listed below. Thankfully, we have had a very busy season with good orders from clients around the globe… this demand, however, has stretched our small production capacity to the limit, with order times now at 5/6 months for our Copper Planters and Water Features, and 3 months for all other items, with this in mind please do consider ordering now for your spring projects.

Our Chelsea display is nearly completed and yesterday I went around the stand and added up the combined weight of all of the elements, including the gravel, York Stone paving, three large 18th century stone troughs, two period lead cisterns, statuary on plinths and quite a lot of plants within all our containers, to an estimated total of: 9500 kg.

We are in our usual position opposite the Bull Ring Embankment Entrance (Stand SR 146) and are proud to present a wonderful selection of Architectural Heritage Garden Antiques, including 17th and 19th century lead cisterns, fine bronze urns and statuary, alongside stone troughs and our very own mini shepherd’s hut! All displayed in concert with our Heritage Handmade Garden Collections copper and lead planters, iron furniture and much more…

We have been busy… It was great to reconnect with old clients and introduce ourselves to new at the LAPADA Berkeley Square Art & Antiques Fair, and then on to Decorex at Olympia - it’s good to be out and about.

We look forward to meeting all our professional interior design clients next week at DECOREX, in our usual spot, just by the entrance. For further information, please click on the banner below. All best regards Alex

Thankfully the sun shone all week, the gardens were a treat as always, and it felt good to be welcoming back our friends from across both the Pond and La Manche. This year for us was a little special as we, with pride, supplied our Courtyard Copper Water Container to Chris Beardshaw's Chelsea Garden: Myeloma UK, A Life Worth Living; sponsored by the wonderful charity Myeloma UK. Congratulations to Chris and the team on winning a Chelsea Gold and the People’s Choice award!

Another year and another Chelsea Flower Show passes into memory... Thankfully the sun shone all week, the gardens were a treat as always, and it felt good to be welcoming back our friends from across both the Pond and La Manche. This year for us was a little special as we, with pride, supplied our Courtyard Copper Water Container to Chris Beardshaw's Chelsea Garden: Myeloma UK, A Life Worth Living; sponsored by the wonderful charity Myeloma UK.

Thank you to all those who entered our competition to win a pair of Tuesday tickets to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The correct answer to the question: How many kilograms of gravel was used on our stand this year? Is 1940 kg. Many of you were very close but there is one winner and they have been notified - Congratulations! Whether visiting the show in person or watching on TV, we hope you enjoy... All best regards Alex Puddy

I hope this email finds you well. For me the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a marker in the year that has been there all my working life – some 30 years on Chelsea continues to delight and inspire, with old acquaintances rekindled exactly 12 months on from the last time we set to toil in rain and sun to look to present our best stand and enjoy being part of the greatest flower show there is… Competition to Win a Pair of Tickets to the Show!

I am pleased to inform you that our 2023 Handmade Garden Collections Catalogue is now available, both online and in print. Included are new designs in our verdigris patinated copper planter and water container collection; new table sizes in our forged iron garden furniture collection; and various products of interest within our natural carved limestone, lead, age-patinated artificial stone and curated collections. Please click on the catalogue cover image above to view a digital version of the catalogue and do make contact to request a hard copy by post.

I hope this email finds you well. To dispel the gloomth, a refresh of our latest garden ornament perhaps... however before I start to ramble on, a couple of dates for your dairy: Our new Handmade Garden Collections Catalogue will be published in January and sent out to those who are on our mailing list and those who request one, with a digital version for everyone. Back to its normal date in January, the London Art Fair will be our next exhibition, with fine works and some surprises to delight on the day for the Modern British Art collectors among you.

I very much hope this email finds you well. This is the beginning of a busy few months for us with the above Exhibition, the London Art Fair and then The Chelsea Flower Show, all following in quick succession. Should you be in the Cotswolds in early April, I very much hope that you may be able to pop in to see us and David Pickup, a fellow CADA member who will be exhibiting in the house. With seven other exhibitions to see in the Cotswolds, a nice day out I hope...

We would like to wish you a very Happy Christmas and where possible a jolly New Year. In January 2022 we publish our Handmade Garden Collections Catalogue - click to preview below - followed by a trip to Islington to exhibit at the London Art Fair (19-23 Jan). We thought also to show a night time stand shot at Chelsea Flower Show, which of course was in September this year, alongside our outing at the Cotswold Art & Antiques Dealers' Association Fair at Compton Verney, a show we are very much looking forward to returning to in October next year.

Invitation to the Cotswold Art & Antiques Dealers' Association Fair As Chairman of the Cotswold Art & Antiques Dealers’ Association for the past four or is it five years, I am very much looking forward to exhibiting at our antiques fair venue at Compton Verney. A grand country house on the Fosse Way situated between Stratford-upon-Avon and Banbury, where we are proud to be the first to hold a fair within the Museum and Adam Hall environs.

Discombobulated, I think, is possibly the only word to describe how we feel after the last 18 months and now Chelsea Flower Show in September! Firstly, I very much hope this email finds you well. With the pandemic we are learning to live and adapt to our new way of being, and as such we look forward to exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in 10 days’ time. A little competition... The Prize: A pair of Tuesday tickets for The Chelsea Flower Show. The Question: In which year did Architectural Heritage first exhibit at The Chelsea Flower Show?

Welcome to our Virtual Exhibition at the London Art Fair. As we navigate these lockdown times the world has gone digital and so has the LAF. I am then pleased to send to you your VIP invitation to view our 20-work exhibition of Modern British Sculptures, Paintings, Drawings and Prints, by British sculptors, entitled: From Evolution to Extinction and Back.
