Dear Carolyn,
PROPOSED WILLIAM JONES COMMEMORATIVE BUST
Thank you for inviting me on behalf of your colleagues to quote for the proposed bust
of Williams Jones as depicted in the School history section of your website.
It is difficult to provide a specific quotation without knowing the preferred media and a
little about the size of the room and where the bust will be positioned within that room.
I have therefore assumed that the reception room will be fairly large and the required
media is genuine bronze.
To give an idea of price range; a bronze portrait head at life-size +10% incorporating
the Elizabethan style frilled collar would cost around £7,000 (ex VAT) and would be
self-supporting similar to “Ken” in the attached examples
At the other end of the scale, a similarly sized portrait bust incorporating the frilled
collar but also including the tunic front from shoulder to shoulder and down to waist
and similarly self-supporting, would cost in the region of £20,000 (ex VAT).
The whole project would take 4 to 6 months to complete depending on which option
you prefer. Cost and lead time can be significantly reduced by the use of resin bronze
as an alternative to genuine hot cast bronze
In the event of your further interest, I would be happy to visit the school and discuss
the project and various options in greater detail with a view to submitting a more
specific proposal.
I have attached a portfolio of some of my portrait work, which I hope your colleagues
will find useful. I look forward to the prospect of discussing the project further.
Yours sincerely
Roger Andrews
