Staircase prop making for James Purdey & Sons

We built a stately home staircase for a James Purdey & Sons window display to serve as an elaborate plinth, located in Audley House, Mayfair.

The staircase was accompanied by a vacuum-formed stonewall background that finished with scenic paint.

With the looming festive period just around the corner now we were getting into the swing of things and preparing for our yuletide cheer by building and assembling disco-ball snowmen for Magasin du Nord department store in Copenhagen.

Our snowmen were made from disco balls comprised of tiny mirror square facets on a fibreglass dome. The carrots were made of polystyrene carved and sprayed orange. We didn’t forget our top hats for our funky Jack Frosts!

The disco snowmen will feature on their window display for shoppers to see during their festive shopping.

Giant feather prop making for James Purdey & Sons shop in Mayfair

Make It London crafted giant feather props for the James Purdey & Sons shop in Mayfair. The feathers were hand crafted to represent Mallard, woodcock, dyed red partridge and pheasant feathers .

Each feather stem was hand whittled from wood, heat treated to form the curves of the feathers, with a final layer of canvas on top for the paint work.

All the feathers were hung in front of jet black painted boards to really make them pop out. We also created the highland stone plinths to show off the Purdey products.
