Sculpture speaks to us in a very special way and its innate physicality enriches our lives differently from any other art form.
Stuart Lochhead Sculpture offers the best in all media from the Medieval period to the time of Rodin. Whether created by a celebrated or a little-known artist, the sculptures we handle are of the highest quality.
With an intimate knowledge of the sculpture market and dedication to thorough research, we pursue the acquisition and sale of sculpture with three essential values in mind: Rarity, Integrity and Beauty.

A graduate from the Ecole du Louvre and the Sorbonne, Paris, Sophie Richard has worked for art dealers specialised in Old Masters in Paris, New York and London.
In parallel to her involvement with Stuart Lochhead Sculpture, a lifelong passion for Japan has led Sophie to write "The Art Lover's Guide to Japanese Museums", for which she received an award from the Japanese government in 2015. She consults on a variety of cultural projects in Japan and is an advisor to the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs. Sophie represents the artist Shota Suzuki exclusively in the UK and EU and organises a yearly exhibition of Japanese art at the gallery.
