The Beauty In The Bronze

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 by Jessica Whitney
Bronze garden sculptures and fountains provide a dramatic excitement yet elegance indoors and out.

Our bronze statue collection includes sculptures of animals, children, gargoyles and dragons in classic and contemporary styles.

Bronze, the hard and brittle metal alloy that carries a significant antiquity to it, dates back to the third millennium, BC.  Many Indian Hindus used bronze to create intricate statues via the lost wax casting method, with elaborate detailing depicting the gods of Hinduism mostly, but also the lifestyle of the period. The art form survives to this day, with many silpis, craftsmen, working in the areas of Swamimalai and Chennai.

Design Toscano carries many Asian Bronze Garden Statuary that recreates those time periods of ancient India! 

This Tranquil Buddha Solid Bronze Garden Statue, cast in the traditional lost wax bronze method, is perfect for any garden! It invites inspiration and tranquility into your outdoor environment, and is reminiscent of the finest in Asian garden art.
 
At a foot-and-a-half-tall, this serene Buddha sculpture, finished with a multi toned antique verdigris patina, is cast in the traditional lost wax method, which highlights the exceptionally fine detail and guarantees lasting beauty.

Add Some Classic French Style To Your Garden With These Statues!

Sunday, July 18, 2010 by Jessica Whitney
French gardens are historically held as one of the most beautiful themed environments!

French gardens were built by  the aristocracy and royalty to overwhelm and impress their visitors.  The grounds were usually level and were laid out in geometrical patterns known as parterres. The parterres were usually lined with boxwood, lavender, or rosemary and bedding plants or stones were used to provide color and contrast.  

Fountains and Garden Statuary were used as accents to improve the classic atmosphere of the garden!  Browse through Design Toscano's large collection of French Decor Statues to achieve a stylish and French-themed garden.

A best-selling item of ours, the Empress Josephine's Dancer Sculpture, by artist Antonio Canova, is one of the most coveted images of the Neoclassical era.  
 
The Outdoor Garden Sculpture features a flaunting and timeless female figure of elegance. The piece was originally created for Empress Josephine by artist Canova, the premiere Italian sculptor of his day.

Our Greco-Roman beauty is showcased in quality designer resin, with a rich, faux stone finish perfect for spa bath or breathtaking garden display.

The Spring Awakening Garden Statue is another best-seller, by revered sculptor Auguste Moreau, who debuted in the 1861 Salon de Paris. 

Add timeless French style to your collection for sculptures for outside with this classic sculpt that embodies the stirring of the seasons as a breathtakingly beautiful maiden sheds the heaviness of winter to step into the elemental essence of spring. This grand-scale, three-foot-tall piece is cast in quality designer resin with an antique stone finish for home or garden. 

Weather Vanes Add Both Style and Decoration To Your Home's Facade

Saturday, July 17, 2010 by Jessica Whitney
Historical weather vanes were primarily instruments for detecting weather changes by determining the direction of the wind but evolved as decorative displays of culture and style, often featuring the traditional cockerel design with letters indicating the points of the compass. Other common motifs include ships, arrows and horses.

Like the early, original weather vanes, our Design Toscano exclusive weather vanes have very ornamental pointers, which should add some interesting style elements to your Garden Statuary collection! 

The history of the weather vane stretches back 2,000 years. The first weather vane appeared on the Tower of the Winds on the ancient Roman agora in Athens, which once bore on its roof a wind vane in the form of a bronze Triton. Holding a rod in his outstretched hand, the triton rotated as the wind changed direction.

If you're looking for a classic touch to your garden or to the exterior of your house, consider the traditional Strutting Rooster Full-Size Copper Weather Vane.  This quality piece is reminiscent of those found in historic cupolas (an arched or domed roof, as in an astronomical observatory). 
 
Crafted from copper, this gorgeous weather vane features a proud rooster perched atop a powder-coated steel shaft that includes brass compass points and copper spacer balls.

Perfect atop any home pinnacle or cupola, this full-size, functional weathervane is hand-crafted to be water and rust resistant! This piece will go perfectly with your other Outdoor Animal Statues in your garden!

Browse the Design Toscano collection of Greenmen outdoor sculptures and furniture!  
A Green Man is a sculpture of a face surrounded by or made from leaves! Branches or vines may sprout from the nose, mouth, nostrils or other parts of the face and these may bear flowers or fruit.  Greenmen are commonly used as a decorative architectural ornament.

The history of the Greenman (and the Greenwoman) stretch back to the 4th century! 
Found in many cultures around the world, the Greenman is often related to natural vegetative deities springing up in different ideologies and beliefs throughout the ages.
Primarily the Greenman is interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, or "renaissance," representing the cycle of growth each spring. 
This Greenman and Greenwoman would look perfect on any garden or home wall!

They are said to be one of the most wise creatures of the ancient oak forests! And our Design Toscano exclusive sculpture gives face to Nature’s spirit. Our artist Lawrence hand-carved this traditional image, from his studio in Somerset, England.  They are cast in quality designer resin and finely hand-painted it in subtle shades of faux verdigris and bronze to coax out every magical detail!
