Margaret comes from a family with a strong art background as her mother’s family were general antique dealers for the first part of the 20th century. Twenty years ago, along with her partner Wendy, Margaret made a decision to follow their great love of art and to concentrate on researching, buying and selling the work of the the sculptors of the 19th century from the French School.
Margaret and Wendy then set up Garret and Hurst Sculpture that is now a family-run company that specialises in 19th century sculpture.They have since been joined by Peter and Keiko Cowley.
Garret and Hurst Sculpture are based in Sussex and exhibit at major Fine Art and Antiques fairs throughout the UK, including the LAPADA and London Olympia fairs.
In their own words: ‘We pride ourselves on reflecting the art of 19th sculpture in our acquisition of signed figurative and animalier pieces of the highest quality by the master sculptors who exhibited at the Paris Salons. The difference between high quality 19th century casts and those later casts and imitations, often of poorer quality, that make up 20th century production make it important to discriminate between the two. This is the role that Garret & Hurst fulfils and as leading specialists in the field we are working to promote the increasing knowledge of and interest in sculpture from this fascinating period, we are currently researching and preparing our second information catalogue for publication.’
