From start to finish, from the raw ingots of aluminum to the sparkling shimmering beauty of each completed item, it is obvious that quality and pride go hand in hand at Hoselton.

To the uninitiated, the Hoselton process seems relatively simple - in a nutshell:

An original image is carved, a mould is made using a process known as sandcasting, and then a molten aluminum alloy at a temperature of 1200 F is poured into the mould and allowed to cool.


A long polishing process, including at least three different hand-polishing steps, gives each sculpture the soft, lustrous, non tarnish finish that typifies a Hoselton sculpture.


To give the wildlife sculptures a life like setting, rough stone bases of native quarried marble are used.


The occasional minute pit created by the casting process testifies to the artisan's technique and makes no two pieces exactly alike.


Each piece is individually signed, signifying the inspection of approval. To maintain the lustrous gleam, you may wish to clean your pieces with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
Do I have to polish my Hoselton sculpture all the time?

Unlike silver or brass products, Hoselton Sculptures do not need to be polished.

Will my sculpture tarnish?

Hoselton Sculptures will not tarnish and the smooth finish of bare aluminum will stand up without deterioration under normal atmospheric conditions.

What do you mean 'no two are alike'?

All sculptures are made of solid aluminum and are hand-finished, meaning no two are ever quite the same. No plating or coating has been applied.

Do you ever do 'custom engraving' or mount sculptures?

Yes, mounted Hoselton Sculptures are placed on North American marble and we can also add custom engraving such as your logo, commemorative sayings, etc. Contact our friendly staff for your 'personalized' sculpture.

How do I know that I have a 'real' Hoselton Sculpture?

Each Hoselton Sculpture is engraved with the Hoselton name. You will also find a number on the bottom of each piece. This is our stock number for this item. Recording the number at the time of sale also makes for easy re-ordering.

Thank you for making Hoselton sculptures part of your heritage.
