Each of the bronze figures is vermeil-coated with 18 carat gold by hand. At the foot of the poppy is rust and soil scraped from an exploded German shell which landed on the British line during the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium in 1917.
As a reminder of the significance of the poppy, Nic has added the poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae to the back of every sculpture. The gold symbolises that every life was golden and will never be forgotten. The edition size is 11 to represent Armistice Day, which is celebrated on November 11th each year to mark the end of the Great War in 1918.
Please note that due to the delicate nature of Nic’s wall sculptures, we recommend collection from your local gallery.

What began as Nic Joly's hobby has transformed into a passion for sculpting minute depictions of everyday life. The British artist's 3D wall sculptures tackle topics like love, sex, mental health and war in a touching and humorous way.
In 2024, we will be celebrating Nic Joly’s tenth anniversary with Castle Fine Art and remembering the intricate details tell stories of moments lived, emotions felt, and a journey embarked upon. As Nic reflects on the last decade and his past creations, the spirit of experimentation and the passion for self-expression is a reminder that Nic's artwork is an extension of him and the thoughtful, considered miniature works he creates. The most recent collection, The Next Chapter, references Nic’s evolving creative journey with his progressive techniques, unexplored themes, and sentiments yet to be unravelled and miniaturised. With renewed determination, Nic is ready to embark on The Next Chapter of his artistic journey.
In 1995, we opened our first-ever gallery in Stratford-upon-Avon. With just one goal in mind - to make our art accessible to all - our fledgling company began to spread its roots.
Every piece of art is mounted, glazed or framed by hand, with our bespoke framing service selected by our creative department.
Our foundations are built on a passion for art, and many of our staff (and collectors!) have been with us from the very beginning.
