Border
Fine Arts was founded in 1974 by John Hammond who, following
a chance visit to the Borders region of Scotland, formed the germ
of an idea that was to become the acclaimed business that Border
Fine Arts is today.
Border
Fine Arts has since become the leader in its field. In 1986,
John Hammond and the company were honoured by winning the Scottish
Business Achievement Award in recognition of the growth of the company
and its commitment to quality.
Border
Fine Arts operates a successful and highly popular collectors
Society which is growing rapidly with enthusiastic members. Among
a variety of benefits, members are able to purchase special exclusive
Society figurines which are highly collectable.
In 1994, Border
Fine Arts was acquired by Stanhome Incorporated, owners of the
multi-million dollar Enesco Corporation, and became a division of
the newly formed Enesco European Giftware Group, together with Cumbrian
based Lilliput Lane.
The Border
Fine Arts portfolio now comprises the fabulous limited edition
farming, animal and wildlife figurines of the 'Border
Fine Arts Classic Collection', plus the diverse ranges and licensed
brands showcased in the Border
Fine Arts Studio Collection.
The
Border Fine Arts Classic Collection
The superb realism depicted in the farming scenes, breed studies
and wildlife figurines in our Border
Fine Arts Classic Collection really speaks volumes about the
artists who have created them. Entirely hand-crafted at Border
Fine Arts' Langholm studios, it takes many months to create
an accurately detailed sculpture, including all the intricate painting,
assembly and finishing processes required to produce the final figurine.
The
Border Fine Arts Studio Collection
Every item in our Border
Fine Arts Studio Collection is subject to the same rigorous
development processes and stringent quality checks as our Classic
figurines. Each item is hand-sculpted by an established Border artist
and is subject to the same lengthy 'pre-production' processes all
figurines undergo at our Scottish studios - this ensures all its
original, minute attention to detail has been captured. Once the
figurines and accessories in the Border
Fine Arts Studio Collection have been approved by the artists
at Langholm, production can then take place by our international
manufacturing partners, who have been carefully chosen for the high
quality of their work.
