Carrara Triceratops installed into Berkeley Square

We were delighted to see our Carrara Triceratops Skull installed into Mayfair as part of the Berkeley Square Public Art programme. The piece will be there for 2 years, replacing a bronze Tyrannosaurus Rex, to bring Art, natural history education and enjoyment into the heart of London.

Carved from a single 10 tonne block of white Carrara marble, the spectacular work is an artistic interpretation of a 68-million-year-old sub-adult Triceratops Skull exhibited by David Aaron at Frieze Masters 2025. Measuring 3m high, 2.2m long, and 1.5m wide, the skull rests at a 20 degree angle on a grey-veined Carrara marble plinth.

It was a pleasure to work with the David Aaron team on this initiative.

Looking Back at the Chelsea Flower Show 2025

We’re thrilled to share that we had a wonderful time at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, and are deeply honoured to have been awarded 5 Stars once again!

The judges described our stand as:
“The stand takes you on a journey with moments of intrigue as you step onto the stand, finding works behind huge stone slabs. Planting is elegant and links the product in colours that are well considered. Planting is distributed elegantly without overpowering the works.”

We received exceptional marks across all categories including overall design, use of plant material, visual merchandising, signage, labelling, presentation, detail, finish, and storage.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible team — Paul, Kay, Gary, Emma, Liam, Caelo, Millie, Bev, Luke, Sarah, Tom, and Sophia — for their dedication, creativity, and tireless effort in making this happen.

News from Paul Vanstone

Dear Friends,

We’re looking forward to an exciting year of exhibitions, new opportunities and projects. 

I will be exhibiting a group of new, unseen sculptures at on form. This stunning show specialises in stone sculpture, set in the beautiful surroundings of Asthall Manor in Oxfordshire. The exhibition opens on 12th June until 10th July. Tickets will need to be purchased in advance. 

We’re delighted to continue our collaborations with the Moncrieff-Bray Gallery in West Sussex, The Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden in Surrey and the Lemon Street Gallery in Truro, Cornwall, where we will be installing new pieces in the coming months. 

We’re especially delighted to be back at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, from 24th until 28th May 2022. We’re also excited to announce that we will be exhibiting in a new location on Royal Hospital Way at stand RHW 618. We will also be showing work with Raymond Blanc at the Jardin Blanc again this year.  

If you would like any further information or even a sneak preview of new work coming through the studio, please do contact us at paul@paulvanstone.co.uk.

We hope to see you all soon.

Chelsea Flower Show is imminent!

19.05.2016

Behold the imagery we are currently having printed to have on the stand! Taken yesterday this shot beautifully captures photographer David Anthony Hall’s Avenue of Trees and Paul’s Golden Veined Onyx Torso.

The next few days will be a flurry of planting, polishing and perfecting the stand all in time for the grand opening on Monday.

I’m told that the general quality of the gardens is excellent this year with James Basson once again raising the stakes and also a heavy use of stone in general through the show gardens. Well. Who can blame them? There’s even a possibility of one of Paul’s pieces being borrowed for a show garden…. watch this space for more info.
