Major commission announced

We are delighted to announce the confirmation of a major commission forĀ Blott Kerr-Wilson, the consumate shell artist. Blott recently committed some of her latest work for representation by Guilded: the first of these sold within two days, the second attracting an enquiry that has led to a major commission. She will be travelling to Asia for the month of July to carry out a site specific wall mounted work for the new house of a private client. Architect: Dennison Architects.

The commission was attracted by Guilded and the client assisted to understand the scope of possibilities presented by this artist in view of the space and requirement. No detail has been overlooked to ensure the envisioned piece will be right for its position, down to the mood of the piece, how it will interact with the space, the scale of materials used, and dealing with the measurements and specific required for contractors.

Once again the unique model created by Charlotte Bowater at Guilded to bring the work of exceptional British craftspeople to the attention of clients worldwide has proven incredibly successful. It is our approach not just to offer readily available pieces for sale and to encourage creative development from those we represent, but for Guilded to be regarded as an exceptional ‘eye’ in the market.

We offer a hint of the piece to be created in the image provided:
