Ardmore Ceramic Studio

South African 20th/21st Century 


Ardmore, a luxury South African brand founded by Fée Halsted in 1985, is a ceramic studio that collaborates with over 70 African artists. The brand's uniqueness stems from its strong family values and commitment to authenticity, which are embodied in the spirit of Ubuntu. The ceramic works produced by Ardmore's artists have earned recognition as modern-day collectables, with pieces featured at renowned auction houses such as Christie's, Bonhams, and Sotheby's. Their masterworks are also housed in prestigious art galleries and private collections around the world. Drawing inspiration from the artists' distinctive ceramic motifs, Ardmore Design has created a vibrant and elegant range of fabric collections for home decor, which have become highly sought after by interior designers. Our collaboration with Cole & Son has further expanded Ardmore's reach, with exquisite wallpaper ranges that capture the essence of African artistry. Additionally, Ardmore's style is reflected in our fashion collections, featuring immaculate scarves that bring the brand's signature motifs to life in wearable art. Ardmore has collaborated with the renowned French fashion house Hermès, further cementing its reputation for iconic, exquisite imagery.
