Pet Memorials
Today, many people like to commemorate the passing of a beloved pet by honouring them with a memorial. Pet Memorials first became fashionable in the Victorian era with pet funerals. However, they were regarded as irreligious so pet cemetries were then established such as the one in Hyde Park in 1881. Many of the large Victorian estates had pet cemetries and today, The Queen has graveyards at Balmoral and Sandringham for her beloved corgis.

What is Relief Carving ?
What is Relief Carving ? Relief Carving is a particular sculptural technique where the elements of the material remain attached to the solid background of the same material. The term relief is from the Latin verb ‘relevo’ meaning to raise. In order to create a sculpture in relief, it has to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background.
