Andrei Masonry LLC Brings Artistic Detail to a Beloved Hobby with Custom Breyer Model Horse Displays

Boring, OR – November 8, 2023 – Andrei Masonry LLC, a full-service masonry company known for its precision and artistry, is now offering a unique service catering to a surprisingly passionate and detail-oriented hobby: collecting Breyer Model Horses. While seemingly worlds apart, the company’s expertise in creating stunning stonework and custom displays translates beautifully to enhancing the presentation and enjoyment of these collectible equine figures. For those unfamiliar, Breyer Model Horses aren’t your average toy horses. For over 70 years, Breyer has been crafting incredibly realistic and detailed miniature horses, often based on real-life champion breeds. These aren’t just toys; they’re collectibles, art pieces, and cherished possessions for enthusiasts of all ages. And for serious collectors, how they’re displayed is just as important as the horses themselves. “We’ve always prided ourselves on taking on unique projects,” says Andrei, owner of Andrei Masonry LLC. “We do everything from fireplaces and patios to retaining walls and custom stone veneers. A long-time client, a dedicated Breyer collector, approached us with a challenge – she wanted a display for her growing collection that was as beautiful and unique as the horses themselves. We were immediately intrigued!” That initial project quickly blossomed into a dedicated service offering. Andrei Masonry LLC now designs and builds custom display solutions specifically for Breyer Model Horses, focusing on creating visually appealing and secure environments to showcase these prized possessions. Beyond the Shelf: Turning Collections into Art Traditional display options for Breyer horses often fall short. Simple shelves can feel impersonal and lack the elegance these collectible horses deserve. Glass cases, while protective, can be bulky and detract from the overall aesthetic. And many collectors find themselves running out of space quickly. Andrei Masonry LLC offers a range of solutions, tailored to the collector's specific needs and space. These include: Custom Stone Bases & Pedestals: Instead of simple wooden or plastic stands, Andrei Masonry LLC crafts individual bases using a variety of natural stone, including slate, granite, and limestone. These bases aren't just functional; they add a touch of sophistication and highlight the horse's conformation and beauty. Each base is custom-sized to the individual horse, ensuring stability and a visually pleasing presentation. Integrated Stone Shelving & Nooks: For larger collections, the company can design and build complete shelving systems incorporating natural stone elements. These systems can be integrated into existing room décor or built as freestanding displays. Imagine a stone “stable” built into a corner, with individual stalls for each horse! Miniature Stone Landscapes & Dioramas: This is where Andrei Masonry LLC really shines. Going beyond simple display, they can create miniature landscapes and dioramas using stone, gravel, and other natural materials, providing a realistic and immersive setting for the horses. Think rolling hills, babbling brooks (created with polished stone), and miniature fences – all designed to enhance the storytelling aspect of the collection. Secure & Protective Displays: Understanding the value – both monetary and sentimental – of these collectibles, Andrei Masonry LLC prioritizes security and protection. Displays are designed to be stable, preventing accidental tipping or damage. Stone provides a durable and protective barrier against dust and other environmental factors. Lighting Integration: Proper lighting is crucial for showcasing detail and creating the right ambiance. Andrei Masonry LLC can integrate subtle lighting solutions into the displays, highlighting the horses’ features and creating a stunning visual effect. “We approach these projects with the same level of artistry and attention to detail we apply to all our masonry work,” explains Andrei. “We work closely with the collector to understand their vision, their collection, and their space. We then design a display that not only showcases the horses beautifully but also reflects the collector’s personal style.” Why Stone? A Natural Fit for a Timeless Hobby The choice of stone as the primary material for these displays isn’t accidental. Stone offers several advantages: Durability: Stone is incredibly durable, ensuring that the display will last for generations. Natural Beauty: The natural variations in color and texture of stone add a unique and organic feel to the display. Timeless Appeal: Stone has been used in architecture and art for centuries, lending a sense of timelessness and sophistication to the display. Weight & Stability: Stone provides a solid and stable base for the horses, preventing accidental tipping or damage. Complements the Horses: The earthy tones and natural textures of stone complement the realism and beauty of the Breyer Model Horses. More Than Just a Display – A Showcase for Passion Andrei Masonry LLC isn’t just building displays; they’re helping collectors showcase their passion and create a truly unique and personal space. For Breyer Model Horse enthusiasts, these displays are more than just storage; they’re a celebration of a beloved hobby and a testament to the beauty and artistry of these collectible horses. “It's been incredibly rewarding to work on these projects,” says Andrei. “Seeing the joy on our clients’ faces when they see their collections beautifully displayed is the best reward we could ask for.” About Andrei Masonry LLC: Located in Boring, Oregon, Andrei Masonry LLC is a full-service masonry company specializing in custom stonework for residential and commercial properties.
