We recently took over the production of these fabulous & unique statues from Malcolm Thompson who for various personal reasons has retired from making them. His expertise in the production and manufacture of these amazing statues has been taught to us to ensure the quality and attention to detail continues seemlessly from the ones he produced personally. Malcolm is a UK based artist who has specialised in life size Great Dane sculptures since 1991. The statues that are currently available can be viewed on the products page. These statues are produced to order and and it is very rare that there is any shelf stock available unless there has been a cancellation of an order that has been placed previously.
Malcolm has also owned and been involved with Great Danes since acquisition of his first Great Danes Walkmyl Fortune in 1986 and Walkmyl Derizel in 1987. These sincerely treasured and loved residents inspired the innovation of Trinire Great Dane Statues. Today these statues are respected and desired across the world by discerning Great Dane breeders and owners who recognise that his statues radiate and reflect the character of this wonderful Great Dane breed.
From the outset of Malcolm observing the highly expensive bronze statues exhibited at Crufts in 1990 by the artist Gerda Van De Bosch, his desire was to produce affordable stone statues of Great Danes that serious Great Dane breeders and owners would love to own, and importantly could afford!
Please kindly accept the photo representations on the website as an indication of our work. We are repeatedly reminded that the imagery fails to apportion fair impact and justice to our work as they have much more presence when seen 'in real life' so to speak.
All our sculptures are reproduced from originals that were created entirely by Malcolm himself, investing considerable time developing these unique products. We work hard to produce moulds that do not permit unsightly distortion and will provide proper replications that are exacting and identical to the original that was handcrafted.
The final cast statues are produced personally and endorsed, dated and authenticated at the time of casting.
The various breed standard colours can be painted on to your statue, should you prefer. Fawn, Harlequin, Black, Blue, Mantle and Stone-Finish are available. Unfortunately Brindle is unavailable due to it's complexity and many variations. Due to the extreme weight of these life size statues we normally (at extra cost) deliver and site to customer specification - which is preferred to ensure they arrive safely. If a customer is considering collecting themselves, transportation advice is provided to facilitate the carriage of your statue. Included on this site are photographs of some of Malcolm's personal Danes. Walkmyll Fortune known as Zindy, Walkmyll Derizel known as Zarachin, and Cwmddu Athos known as Herbie are sadly missed.
