What
are David Winter Cottages? |
|
The David Winter Cottages collection
exists in homes around the world because of two essential ingredients: David's
enormous talent for sculpting in the finest and most exquisite detail, and the
ability of skilled craftspeople in Great Britain to make exact models from his
originals. The David Winter Cottages collection takes us back to a tranquil
existence enjoyed by countless generations, who lived and worked in simpler
days gone by.
Collecting David Winter Cottages has become a
fulfilling pastime for collectors from all around the world, beautifying their
homes and enriching their lives. Made in Great Britain, these handcrafted and
hand-painted sculptures shows you a world of bygone times. An enchanting world
that blends fact with fiction, that allows you to use your imagination to
wonder at the lives of those who passed before us.
Gifted
English sculptor David Winter is regarded as one of the foremost creators of
miniature architectural structures. David's fanciful creations are based on the
research from a variety of sources. Old books, photographs, manuscripts,
etchings and real buildings all play a part in the evolution of an idea. This
begins with a favourite feature but from then the final shape and form of the
sculpture comes firmly from David's imagination.
His romantic quaint designs are based upon British
countryside life, and reflect a simpler more peaceful time. His cottages will
take you back to a time where the importance of the village community bonds
together the village folk, where they live and work. David Winter captures the
charm and romance of the countryside from winding country paths, overgrown
cottages and quaint villages to historic industrial buildings long gone. His
work personifies what is Great Britain which is possibly why his cottages are
so popular the whole world over. |
