Historic Jewellery Reproduction

About the reproduction process. Remembering
the past to
Many antique items are copied by modelling from photographs or imagine the
drawings of original items, or designed ‘in the form of’ such items, future.
but are modern creations.

Our items are contact moulded from the original that reproduces
the style, form and surface texture of the original, which conveys
the perceived beauty or attraction that the perceptive customer
appreciates. It provides its own value of historic manufacture, and
in some cases, signs of wear of a previous period of its history.
They attract enquiring comments when worn, or displayed. They
can be purchased and then compared to the original, which is kept
in a glass case, and found to be of equal appearance, but the one
in the glass case cannot be held in your hand or worn.

Some of my reproductions, made a few years ago, have become Romano-British Deer Brooch
unique because the original may have become too fragile, due to
corrosion, for further moulds to be made. Such an antiquity, in
the form of a Helmet and Mask, I moulded after I had filled the
lacunae and modelled to follow the decoration of the missing
areas. It was sufficiently effective for a Roman Scholar to mistake
it for a ‘recently excavated’ original, although my additions had
been modelled to provide a distinguishing surface texture to
prevent such a delusion. The mould has now become unique, but
reproductions can still be made.

Conservation: When the original may be too fragile to be
handled or exhibited, a faithful reproduction may be used. If the
original is incomplete, the missing areas may be modelled. If
damaged, an electroform may be produced and refurbished to
the initial appearance whilst the integrity of the original antiquity
remains intact and undisturbed.
 
Educational: The RTV silicon rubber moulds produce excellent
details for scientific examination of tool marks, surface texture
and former wear and tear, etc. A reproduction can be handled by
the students without endangering the original.
 
Economics: Many small museums cannot afford to purchase
original artefacts for exhibition or conservation, so an exact
reproduction may be acceptable.
 
Presentation: Often a ‘finder’ of treasure, or a would-be donor
is happy to give an antiquity to a museum if they can have a
reproduction made and presented to them in exchange.
 
Commercial: HJR supplies items for Museum shops worldwide
and also for Film, TV and Theatre. We are able to design and create
jewellery and accessories with the correct historical design themes
required for the production.
