We were commissioned back in 2003 to complete a very special centrepiece, presented to a very special person! You don’t get much more special than “The Queen”.
We still carry out cleaning and refurbishment of the piece from time to time when required. The centrepiece is an exact copy of the gun carriage that was used to carry the Queen Mother during the procession. Made from Sterling Silver, each horses and rider was individually made…even individually marking the rank of the military personnel.
Fun Facts:
- The whole arrangement was set up again for us to take pictures and all the measurements and other important details.
- It took us 6 months to complete the centrepiece.
- The amount of silver used was in excess of 20kg.
- The Responsibility for the Piece sits with The Serving Royal Artillery Sergeant Major (RASM).
- There was a mini crown made to hold a miniature copy of the Royal Standard Flag over the coffin.
- Each of the drawers holds 2 x sterling silver plaques that are inscribed with the names of all the Serving Members of the Warrant Officers and Serjeants who were Serving in the Royal Artillery at the time of the pieces commissioning.
We have completed some very special commissions over the years. We would love to discuss your high profile requirements.
