Many people have found enormous pleasure in making a collection of David Winter Cottages®, those highly detailed miniature houses that are as British as afternoon tea on the Vicarage lawn. The sculptor, David Winter, has a genuine feel for how people lived years and years ago and how they built their own homes round their lives that didn't have to conform to any rules and regulations, but suited their domestic activities and needs. His attention to detail has become his hallmark and his work is instantly recognizable due to the painstaking care he takes with every facet of each of his cottages. The combination of natural artistry and dedicated craftsmanship has made David Winter Cottages® a fine collectible which collectors appreciate and enjoy having in their homes.

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 our 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.

Each cottage demands outstanding skills from the craftsmen, casters and fettlers who need years of training to be able to produce the piece as David would wish to see it. This attention to detail has caused problems over time with meeting public demand without impacting the handmade quality.

Each model comes with a Certificate of Authenticity containing a story card, which tells the tale of the occupants of that dwelling, or shares fascinating historical facts that are connected with the subject matter.
