Heirlooms Made To Order

We will collaborate with you to create fine sculptures in many styles and in any size. We’ve been populating the world with our "future heirlooms" for some 35 years.

Our purpose is to provide you the most effective, meaningful, and long-lasting embodiment of our collective concept as possible.

This means we have to be the best at what we do, and a cursory browse of the Internet will reveal that some of the best outdoor wooden statuary made in America is being produced by Timeless Sculptures. To this end, we operate an apprenticeship program designed to train artists -- some who go on to replicate Matthew G. Welter’s awesome designs for his clients. At this time, special considerations are being given to commissions that provide practice for larger monuments yet to be created. Someday your commissioned piece could inspire a monument to rise in the Freedom Park we are planning.

Please browse our pricing guide to see if our price range will be right for you.

Here’s How the Design Process Unfolds

Matthew can design with you over the Internet or in person, drawing on a lifetime of experience in anatomy, balance and composition. The work, according to your wishes, will be executed by an accomplished Journeyman Apprentice, a Master Apprentice, or by Mr. Welter himself.


The concept and design process begins when you e-mail us with your contact information and a brief outline of your ideas and needs. Next, Matthew Welter will call you on the phone whenever you specify, to hear about your ideas and answer your questions. He can direct you to places on this website, as you talk, to aid the exchange of ideas. An exchange of pictures, graphics and sketches may be carried out over time, if necessary, though customers can usually receive a price quote on that first call. We may then provide a concept-sketch (applicable fees may be deductible from your order if placed.) We’ll also provide you with a commissioner’s purchase order, complete with a verbal description of your proposed order and any pertinent design material.

Payment Requirements, Turn-Around and Shipping

When you return the signed bid with a 25% down payment, your job will be on our production schedule! Depending on various factors, we will be ready to begin production in 2-8 months and that will be outlined in your purchase order as well. You’ll need to provide another 25% payment when we notify you that we are ready to begin the work. On jobs over $10,000, we’ll collect a third payment of 25% after you’ve approved pictures of the project half way through. The balance will be due when you’ve approved pictures of the completed work.

Crating & Shipping (Click for slide show )

We will crate and ship your wonderful new sculpture(s) to you anywhere in the world, using a licensed, certified and insured carrier, specializing in shipping such items as fine art, antiques and jewelry.

We’ll provide you maintenance instructions, and be on-hand for any questions you may ever have. You’ll be the keeper of a source of joy and inspiration made to last lifetimes.
