Ben Pentreath sells such a great range of decorative and architectural plasterwork that you could even re-create your very own Soane Museum. The designs, by plastercast king Peter Hone, range from a three-foot long relief frieze for the wall to a two-inch crown for the table. There are plaques, brackets, lion heads, floral roundels, medallions and even Nebuchadnezzar's tomb filled with cameos of the Roman Emperors, not to mention the resin casts of Hercules and Sappho. All can be viewed in the shop and a selection is available from the website (in the Necessities department!).

Working out of Fulham's Old Gas Works, Simon Orrell is a long-established furniture designer creating custom-made pieces for interior designers and private clients. He has a range of elegant accessories in materials such as shagreen, parchment and cracked eggshell, but also a selection of plaster cameos, roundels and plaques in fluted gilded frames which can be made to any specification. The fashion for collecting classical antiquities and their reproductions became an international phenomenon during the Grand Tour of continental Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. These castings are taken from originals of this period.
