Our Process

At Malcolm DeMille, we specialize in creating high-quality, custom metalwork that reflects each client’s unique vision. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, we deliver handcrafted pieces that are both artistic and enduring.

Our process begins with a consultation between the client and a Malcolm DeMille sales representative. We discuss your goals, preferences, and ideas—whether for a trophy, plaque, tray, or money clip. Our artists then develop several design concepts based on your input, refining them until the perfect design is chosen.

Once approved, we move into sculpting and modeling. Using a blend of hand-sculpting and digital tools, we create a 3D rendering of your piece. This model is used to produce molds that capture every detail of the design. Wax replicas are made from these molds and then cast in metal using the lost wax casting method—an ancient technique known for its precision and depth.

After casting, our skilled craftsmen assemble and finish each piece by hand. This includes polishing, applying patinas, adding epoxy inlays, and other custom touches. Every item is carefully inspected to ensure it meets our high standards for quality and detail.

Once approved, your piece is securely packaged and shipped to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. The entire process typically takes about eight weeks, allowing us to deliver a product that’s truly exceptional.

At Malcolm DeMille, we don’t just make awards—we create lasting impressions through craftsmanship, creativity, and collaboration.
