Family means a lot to us. When master craftsman Andrew Barry founded Fine Art Mouldings in 1989 to craft high-quality classic and contemporary decorative plaster products, he didn’t realise that his son Samuel would join him as our passionate and driven Managing Director. Our employees are part of the family too. Most of our employees have worked with us for 20 years or more, and many even went to school together; they have grown up, got married and had children of their own, and recruited more friends into the fold. It’s the way we like it, and makes our business more than just a workplace.
Our independent family business has been crafting statement plasterwork and decorative plaster products for over 30 years
High-quality plaster mouldings for commercial, residential and historic properties worldwide

Quality isn’t just a word to us: it’s a mantra we live by. Whether in plasterwork materials or processes, traditional crafting skills or cutting-edge technology, we constantly strive to make each job we work on the greatest we’ve ever done. From our bespoke plaster design service to our expert installing team, we are united in our commitment to attention to detail, making every decorative plaster product and finish the standard that others follow.
Our highly skilled team is our biggest asset
When people work together, there is no saying what they can achieve. Our in-house team of plaster experts include designers, artisans and sculptors, specialist project managers, techies and plasterwork installers, whose knowledge of outstanding-quality decorative plaster products is a constant inspiration. And even more importantly, they ensure our plaster artistry is passed on through our apprentice scheme, so the next generation can bring equally outstanding plasterwork into the world.
We work on a wide variety of plaster projects, from restoring the old to creating new plasterwork designs
We work on a wide variety of plaster projects, from restoring the old to creating new plasterwork designs
We have huge respect for the past, but are very much rooted in today – and tomorrow. Our plasterwork portfolio covers many different plaster styles and eras, reaching back to restoring elaborate Tudor plasterwork, recreating elegant Georgian plaster swagging and high Victorian coving through to designing contemporary plaster mouldings for a palace in the Middle East. Whatever plaster project we are working on is the most important thing in the world to us, and we apply the same perfectionism, care and focus.
We work on prestigious plasterwork projects for a wide range of different clients with different needs

We take our relationships very seriously, and have learned that an open and honest approach is crucial. We relish collaborating with other people, and our highly skilled plasterwork team is as comfortable working with property developers and building contractors as they are with architects and interior designers.
We are committed to investing in the next generation of plasterwork artisan skills
We belong to two government schemes to employ and mentor young people, teaching them traditional plasterwork techniques and securing the next generation of plasterwork skills. It’s a way to ensure we pass on our knowledge and experience, as well as welcome new blood in the company to keep an eye on the future. We want to keep our company small and specialised, where all our employees meet our high standards of excellence, and we can grow our own professionals. And leave outstanding plasterwork behind that will last and continue to inspire.

We’ve been working on a bespoke bas-relief frieze for a new block of private residences in London. A truly special piece inspired by the beautiful designs of Bryan O’Sullivan Studio.
Each section has been carefully modelled and crafted by hand, bringing depth, texture, and character to the space.
Proud of the team’s skill and attention to detail on this one!
Casting some ceiling components and a sneaky look at our new workshop, we’ve slowly been moving over to a much needed bigger space.
