Peter Hone

Master plaster caster, Peter Hone, is an experienced and expert collector, building up an extraordinary, museum-worthy collection of items in his one-bedroom flat in Notting Hill, London W11.

Born in 1941, Hone developed a taste for plasterwork during his 15 years managing an architectural antique shop for Lord Jacob Rothschild at Clifton Nurseries in Little Venice, London. From here, his skill in plaster casting flourished, becoming the expert he is today. In fact, Peter Hone is widely considered as skilled as the famous Victorian plaster master, Domenico Brucciani (1815-1880).

Following relocation to the coast of Penzance, Cornwall, Hone took the decision to disperse his remarkable collection, of which we acquired a select few pieces which are now available for sale at UK Heritage.
