The exquisite detail of their casts is guaranteed thanks to their team of highly skilled designers, sculptors and having their own foundry on-site. At such a magical time in a family’s life, the company also puts an emphasis on providing an experience as well as a world class product. Senior Casting Artist Louise Edward explains the importance of this process and how she works to make it truly special. “The casting appointment can often be a fun family event. It’s not every day that our clients will get to see this process in action and it is quite fascinating to watch the bright pink casting jelly setting and changing colour around those tiny little feet!” Offering more than just baby’s hands and feet casting, as parents often want to get involved Wrightson & Platt offer many designs that incorporate all of the family, with a particular favourite being their ‘New Family’ bronze sculpture. Creative Director Anna Harrold believes it’s the bespoke nature of the offering that really appeals to the company’s High Net Worth clients. “At Wrightson and Platt we can work with our families on completely unique designs – nothing is off the table. So when a client asks for a lead crystal sculpture of Mum’s beautiful bump, we are delighted to take on the challenge. One client had his whole family’s hands cast together in bronze then rose gilded in 18ct leaf to create an absolutely stunning show-stopper of a sculpture; a real conversation piece. We have even cast a full-sized bronze horse for one member of the Dubai royal family.” Clients have been so impressed with the quality of their work and the creativeness of their designs that the company has now branched out into making stunning ‘push presents’ including hand-engraved fingerprints on gold charms and unique anniversary gifts such as their glass ‘Tondo’ sculpture capturing the bond between a husband and wife. Ultimately, with the demand for their services growing, Wrightson and Platt continues to expand internationally with regular trips to the Middle East, the US and Europe. As Louise Edward proudly concludes: “our customers are happy to pay for us to travel to them because they want the best. They only have one chance to capture those really special family moments, so they see it as an investment. In their families, their memories and for their future.” Company: Wrightson and Platt Contact: Alison Martin Address: 36 & 37 Brockley Cross Business Centre, 96 Endwell Road, London, SE4 2PD, UK Phone: 020 7639 9085 Website: wrightsonandplatt.com
