Frequently Asked

Questions

How do I begin the process of creating a bespoke piece with Griffin & Sloane?

The process begins with a private discussion to define intent, scope, and suitability. Initial conversations are exploratory and without obligation, and allow us to determine whether a commission is appropriate before any design or technical direction is proposed.

What makes Griffin & Sloane's pieces distinct?

Griffin & Sloane commissions are defined by judgement rather than volume, and by authorship rather than branding. Each piece is developed through a controlled process that prioritises proportion, material integrity, and long-term relevance over novelty or excess.

Do you work from collections or fixed designs?

No. Griffin & Sloane does not operate collections or standard designs. Every commission is developed in response to a specific brief and is produced either as a unique piece or in a strictly limited number.

How long does a commission take?

Timelines vary depending on complexity, technique, and the availability of specialist craftsmen. An indicative timeframe is established once scope is agreed and refined as the commission progresses.

Can I visit your workshops or showrooms?

Griffin & Sloane does not operate public workshops or showrooms. All meetings are arranged privately by appointment.

Is there a minimum commission value?

Commissions are undertaken where scope, intent, and budget are aligned. Initial discussions are used to determine suitability before proceeding further.

What should I expect once a piece is completed?

Each completed commission is accompanied by appropriate documentation confirming materials, provenance, and authorship, and supporting future servicing or specialist care where applicable. Secure, insured international delivery can be arranged.
