What we carve

Portrait, religious, landscape and one-off stone work — quoted per piece, carved in the workshop, crated by us.

Clay maquette of a portrait head being prepared in the carving workshop

Portrait Statues & Busts

Likeness-carved busts, half-figures and life-size standing statues in marble, granite and sandstone.

Religious & Deity Statues

Guanyin, Buddha, Mazu, Guandi and custom deities, carved to your iconography and proportions — for temple halls, roadside shrines and family altars.

Large carved stone relief panel in the workshop yard

Garden & Landscape Sculpture

Fountain figures, animal sculptures, wall reliefs and abstract pieces, carved for the place they will stand in — outdoors, in weather, at scale.

Close tooling work on a grey granite carving

Custom Commission & Restoration

The jobs that do not fit a category — enlargement from a scale model, replication in a different stone, or a damaged carving that needs assessing rather than replacing.

At a glance

Which line of work fits your project

If your job crosses two of these — a portrait on a landscape setting, or a restoration that turns into a replication — say so in the enquiry and we will quote it as one commission.

Not sure which one you need?

Send the reference first, decide the category later

Most enquiries do not need a category before they need an answer. Send a photograph or a drawing, the finished height and where the piece is going, and we will tell you what we would do with it — including if the answer is that a different stone, a smaller size or a different approach would serve you better.

  • Photographs or a drawing of the subject
  • Finished height you want
  • Your preferred stone, if you have one
  • Destination port or city
  • Any deadline the site imposes
