Garden Statuary

It's just about impossible not to like horses. People from cultures around the globe have appreciated, respected, and loved these majestic animals for thousands of years. They have proved themselves to be invaluable for pursuits as disparate as farming, racing, and war, and have a gentle yet strong appearance that captures our attention. Although the importance of the horse has decreased many fold since the invention of the automobile, these maned beauties continue to be cherished, ridden, and used for work by millions.

Showcase the wild beauty of these regal animals with the Majestic Mustang Horse Sculpture. By showing a Mustang rearing up on its hind legs and neighing into the air, this statue captures the wild, untamed spirit of the Mustang with realistic details. A pair of these inspirational horse sculptures also work well when flanking the entranceway to a fine restaurant or western-themed store.

Aficionados of all things Equine will love the Wild Horse Stampede Wall Frieze. This high-relief frieze is a beautifully detailed, dramatic depiction of wild, racing horses. Complement it with the Horse of Turino Sculpture, a replica of an 18th century beautiful bust of an Italian horse.

Prints and replicas of paintings of horses such as "Fierce Grace" by Tony Stromberg and "The Horse Fair" by Rosa Bonheur also act as beautiful wall decor for the home and the office.

Pets are much more than a dog or cat that we take care of. They are a true part of the family and we dearly miss our beloved dogs and cats when their time comes. One of the easiest ways of remembering a departed pet is by putting up a memorial and the best place to display it is in the garden. There's a good chance that the departed cat or dog loved to romp and play in the backyard and he or she may have had a favorite spot for taking an afternoon nap or sitting and watching the world go by.

Such a spot is perfect for marking the passing of your dear pup with the "In God's Hands" Dog Memorial Statue. This beautiful little statue shows a sleeping puppy with angel wings while being lovingly cradled in a pair of large hands. A spot is available for a personalized plaque, and the statue carries the following endearing and honest inscription: "Special friends live in our hearts forever."

For those who have lost a dear cat, the Cat Memorial Angel Statue makes for a peaceful, beautiful tribute. It will add a personal cherished touch to a private corner of the garden or in the privacy of the home. The same can be said for its canine counterpart, the Dog Memorial Statue.

Save on these quality pet memorial statues, exquisite garden fairies, and hundreds of other beautiful resin garden statues at Design Toscano.

Ireland is an island replete with ancient fables of magical creatures. According to those old, Celtic tales, Leprechauns lurk in remote, windy moors and Banshees howl on dark nights. Saint Patrick chased all of the snakes off of the Emerald Isle, and there is a causeway in the west that was made by a race of giants. Such stories and other aspects of Celtic culture have been the inspiration for beautiful carved statues, intricately decorated Celtic crosses, and the Claddagh ring. We give you the opportunity to add an enchanting magical touch to your home and garden with a variety of Celtic inspired decorations.

Whether you are one of the many millions of Americans and Canadians who can claim Irish ancestry or not, your garden will look a lot more magical when it plays host to the Celtic Fairy's Perilous Perch Statue. This exquisite fairy waits to take flight while crouching on top of a Celtic plinth. Complement her with the Celtic Circle of Life Sculpture, an ancient design that represents eternal unity. Your garden will likewise take on an authentic Hybernian appearance when graced by the beautifully patterned Donegal Celtic High Cross Statue.

Summer is about warm weather, vacations, and hosting memorable parties in the backyard. If your backyard also happens to play host to a pool, it will probably be the center of attention, especially when the party day coincides with hot summer weather. One easy way of adding fun to those poolside parties is by decorating the backyard with fun, colorful decor. Given the popularity and familiarity of talking Geckos, our Jo Jo, the Gecko statue is destined to be a hit at all of your summer soirees. The one foot tall Jo Jo is hand painted with realistic colors and crafted with careful details to resemble a real, live Gecko. In fact, he looks so real that you shouldn't be surprised when party guests try to talk to him.

The Just Chillin' Tiki Parrot Statue is another fun sculpture ideal for the happy atmosphere of summer garden parties. With tropical drink in hand, super-cool shades, and easy-going colorful outfit, Tiki is right at home on your party buffet table or hanging out by the pool.

To add a bit of fun drama to your pool party, put a couple of Great White Shark Fin statues on display. Whether placed by the edge of the pool or out on the lawn, party guests will do a double take when they see this realistic, hand-painted, resin shark fin!

The animal garden sculpture has been a common component of villas and extensive Victorian gardens for centuries. Animal statues capture and display the beauty of such wild creatures as lions and tigers without needing to worry about the dangers posed by real, live predators. The right animal statue can also add a royal, elegant touch to the backyard and often acts as a nice complement to stone garden angels and other backyard decor. Classic animal sculptures in particular seem to work especially well with other types of decor. These include such resin garden statue beauties as:

• Beaumaris, the Castle Lion Sculpture: This beautiful resin replica of a stone Welsh lion is a regal addition to any backyard and works especially well when flanking the entranceway to your garden. This two foot plus high sculpture has been carefully crafted to resemble weathered stone.
• Majestic Horse Sculpture: With a length and height of four feet, a bronze patina, and very realistic details, this is a truly majestic animal statue. This sculpture is ideal for enthusiasts of all things equine and classic, realistic animal statuary.
• Man's Best Friend Dog Statue: What can be more classic and endearing than a detailed, realistic sculpture of a faithful pet? This quality garden statue surpasses in capturing the love and loyalty shown by a four-legged member of the family.

June is such a beautiful time of the year. After months of snow, brown grass, and bare branches, the backyard beckons with a fresh green lawn, nesting birds, and trees filled with greenery. The weather is warm, the pool looks great, and you spend most of your time in the garden. This summer, add to the natural beauty of your personal backyard oasis with quality resin garden statues and the right type of decor. That would include such essentials as:

• A garden bench: We put a lot of time and effort into planting and weeding the garden and putting up a detailed animal yard statue or two but how many of us remember to buy garden furniture? The French Quarter Garden Bench provides an elegant place to sit and read a wonderful book while being surrounded by the decorated beauty of your backyard. The cozy appeal of this bench also makes it an ideal spot to share with your favorite person.
• Bird bath statues: Use endearing statuary to add atmosphere to the yard while providing the birds with a place to bathe. Sophie in her Sundress and Angelica's Garden Bounty combine the innocent, angelic beauty of children with the functionality of an elegant basin that can hold rainwater, cut flowers, or bird seed.

One of the many benefits of having a big, green backyard is the presence of birds. The more bushes and trees you have, the more likely that friendly, beautiful birds will show up such as American Robins, goldfinches, jays, rose-red House Finches, chickadees, woodpeckers, and other species. At this time of the year, birds are nesting and filling the yard with song. In addition to providing you with a natural, soothing soundscape, they can also help eliminate leaf munching caterpillars and other pests that plague the garden. Not only can you attract birds to the backyard with vegetation, but they can also be enticed with certain types of resin garden statues.

Since just about every bird likes a bath, get a beautiful, decorative bird bath to help out those backyard feathered friends while sprucing up the yard with unique, elegant decor. Get the Georgina' s Garden Gaze Birdbath Statue to blend the beautiful scene of a child at play with live, avian beauty as birds come to splash in the fountain. If you don't feel like filling the basin with water, it will look just as enchanting when garnished with rose petals.

The Backwoods Bird House Collection are other excellent statues for attracting birds to the garden. Each of these cute sculptures acts as an actual bird house and gives the yard a happy, rustic look.

Bronze was one of the first metals to be worked and used by ancient peoples. An alloy of copper and tin, it replaced pure copper due to its harder, more durable nature. Bronze is even harder than iron but was eventually replaced by that metal due to shortages of tin during 1100 BC, and then truly fell out of use as a weapon once steel was developed (an alloy that is harder than bronze). Nevertheless, bronze was and still is used for many other purposes than weaponry. It has been a popular medium for cast sculptures in particular and the reason for this popularity is quickly realized upon seeing a breathtaking, polished bronze statue up close.

Bronze has a timeless beauty; a special attribute demonstrated by such sculptures as the Birth of Venus and the 13th Century Medieval Warrior Soldier. Both of these stunning statues capture the essence of older works of art in the rich brown, golden-hued colors of bronze.

The quality and timeless character of bronze is also demonstrated by such modern day statues as the beautiful Leap Froggin Playing Boys sculpture. The folds of their clothing, happy looks on their faces, and other details make this high quality bronze sculpture look like a snapshot of another, more innocent time.

Summer might be a time for backyard soirees and weeding the garden but it's also a time for romance. The gentle warm breezes of June make it easy to go on evening strolls with that special person, enjoy candlelit dinners in a seaside restaurant, or bring a gourmet picnic lunch to your favorite park. You can also express the exciting sentiments generated by romance with certain types of garden statuary.

What a better way to put romance on display than with a classic, cherubic statue of Cupid? The Cupid's Message of Love Statue is a charming, Cherubic version of Cupid with a sweet, innocent expression on his face as draws back on his magical bow to strike yet another person with a fateful arrow.

Complement the harbinger of love with the cute Cherubs d'Amour statue. This beautiful replica of a French antique sculpture shows two winged cherubs discussing their plan to reunite two lovers. Show the results of their plan and what happens when Cupid's arrow strikes home with the La Passion Grande Sculpture. This beautiful replica of a 1960 statue that was sculpted by Kaleb Martyn shows a young couple in a passionate embrace.

Find romantic statues such as the ones above, a host of classic garden statues, and other high quality unique decor at Design Toscano. 

A backyard pool lends itself to much more than the possibility of a refreshing swim on a hot June day. It can also act as a focal point in the backyard, and a sparkling watery oasis to sit next to with a good book. The side of the pool is perfect for decorating with Tiki chairs, fun animal garden statues, and other sculptures. Given the magical role that water frequently plays in fantasy and fairy tales, the backyard pool also acts as an excellent place for displaying enchanting, mystical statuary.

The Asian Dragon of the Great Wall will add an exotic, magical touch to the side of any koi pond or pool. Although this classic Asian dragon is at its best when displayed in an Asian-themed garden, it makes a mystical statement in any backyard.

Aficionados of angel statues will be pleased to know that artist Evelyn Meyers Hartley has created yet another fantastic angel sculpture and this one looks wonderful when displayed near a pool. The Extended Grace statue has long, graceful wings and a bowed posture that complements the gentle waters of a backyard pool or pond.

However, as enchanting as these sculptures are, few can match the mystical character of the Lady of the Lake. Inspired by tales of the powerful British water nymph of Avalon, this sculpture captures her enchanting nature with a semi-veiled, timeless face crowned by a floral garland.

Religious works of art are an important feature in many a garden. Stone garden angels, a large Buddha statue, and other religious-themed sculptures fit right in with the peaceful, pleasant atmosphere found in the privacy of the backyard. The beauty and inspiration associated with statuary has made sculptures of saints, Jesus, and symbolic subjects a common feature in the gardens of many Christians for hundreds of years. The popularity of Christian-themed statues lives on in modern times and includes such beautiful sculptures as The Holy Family. This captivating statue is similar to 15th century Italian works of art that depict the Holy Family in a mystical, unified manner.

Carlo Bronti, the sculptor behind the Holy Family statue, is also the artist who created our Jesus Loves the Little Children Statue. This sculpture is also known as "The Smiling Christ" and shows Jesus with a joyful smile as he welcomes two innocent children. The happy, endearing feelings that this statue portrays makes it an excellent sculpture for a summer garden.

Complement this beautiful Christian statue with the inspirational Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Ascension: Grande Scale Christ Sculpture. Both of these resin garden statues are highly detailed, high quality sculptures that act as fine expressions of the Christian faith.

Motorcycles might be categorized as vehicles but as every Harley fan knows, they are definitely in a category of their own. These modern-day, motorized horses represent freedom and the joy and excitement of hitting the open road for just about anyone who rides them. When you sit on a motorcycle and start it up, it rumbles to life and feels more than ready to take you right to the horizon. Given the wild and frequently rough symbolism associated with motorcycles, it seems impossible that decor for garden and home could ever be associated with them. However, anything is possible when it comes to the unique decor offered by the imaginative folks at Design Toscano.

If you love the romance and excitement of motorcycles, you are also going to love the look of "Axle Grease, the Biker Gnome". Unlike other gnomes who are busy working in the flowerbeds, relaxing on a mushroom, or greeting your guests with friendly smiles, Axle Grease is ready for adventure on the open road! Axle sits astride his trusty steel steed with a bottle in hand, Ink Slinger Skull Tattoo on his arm, and leather duds.

Once Axle is put on display in the garden, you can follow up with the Bone Chillin' Skeleton Motorcycle Statue for the inside of your home. This unique collectible blends Gothic decor and motorcycles with eye-catching results!

Fountains are a popular type of decor in gardens, malls, plazas and other situations because they are such dynamic types of sculpture. While most garden statuary is, by nature, static and unmoving, the water in a fountain is constantly changing its appearance in subtle ways while filling the air with soothing natural music. Water helps add dimensions to a fountain that can make it a vibrant centerpiece for any backyard. Fountains are of course sculptures too and can be used in that regard to complement other garden statuary items.

The striking Mermaid of the Isle Capri acts as a striking addition to a backyard pond. This breathtaking bronze statue is cast in the "lost wax" method and uses her long shell to pour water into your pond. The detailed scales, curves, and form or this quality bronze sculptural fountain will make it one of the most striking, realistic items in your backyard.

The Saint Francis Life-Giving Waters Fountain is another masterpiece of garden decor that blends fine sculpture with the enchanting sounds of flowing water. This well known saint's connection with the natural world is captured by sculptor Carlo Bronti with beautiful details. A doe, dove, and other animals are shown as they visit a basin cared for by Saint Francis.

Enjoy a 20% discount on these and other beautiful sculptural fountains when purchased by the end of today, May 20th.

A backyard can be such a special place. Whether you work in the cement and brick canyons of the city or in the great outdoors, it's always a pleasure to come home to your own, personal green oasis. Mark your garden with beautiful garden statuary, vegetables, and brilliant flowers and it takes on higher degrees of personal importance and becomes that much more capable of healing the stresses of the day. Fountains help accomplish healing with the happy, soothing sounds of gentle bubbling water. Two other good reasons for putting fountains on display in the backyard are:

• Fountains are classic, functional decor: Sculptural fountains have played a very important role in the plazas of many European cities, they have graced the villas of nobility, and were an important centerpiece item in Victorian gardens. These works of art that blend sculpture with water continue to be lovely decor in any type of garden and can be a magnet for backyard birds that come for a drink and a dip.
• The modern garden fountain comes in many shapes and sizes: Fountains can be classic, sculptural pieces such as the regal Medici Lion Four-Tier Fountain, solid bronze garden statues, combine bronze and animal garden sculptures by taking the form of a bronze turtle, or be a bit more contemporary in appearance like the Cascading Garden Fountain.

Order these and other fine garden fountains from today until tomorrow, May 20th and get 20% off the regular price.
