Historical Background:

Border Fine Arts was established in Langholm, Scotland, in 1974, and earned a global reputation for its exceptionally detailed, handpainted sculptures of wildlife and rural scenes. This piece was created by Ray Ayres, one of the company's most gifted and recognisable founding artists. The "Border Fine Arts Society" was a collectors' club, and pieces created for it were often of a particularly high standard or special significance. This 1996 sculpture of the muchloved native Red Squirrel captures a perfect moment of British wildlife and is a testament to the company's legacy of fine craftsmanship.
