Garden Statuary

Marble sculptures may have been a feature of Roman villas but the height of decorating the garden with statues was reached during the Victorian era. As the United Kingdom became the wealthiest country on Earth, well to do British families filled extensive gardens with exquisite sculptures. Stone garden angels, impressive statues of lions, and hundreds of other beautiful sculptures were displayed on the grounds of manicured estates. While filling the garden with statues during Victorian days was limited to the wealthy, at present times, garden sculptures are so affordable that just about anyone can turn their backyard into an elegant Victorian garden. Follow these three tips for a backyard that rivals the  majesty of any Victorian era garden:

• Put several classic garden statues on display: Classic sculptures of deities and creatures from Greek myths were a common feature of Victorian gardens. Display beautiful statues such as Hebe, the Goddess of Youth and an authentic replica of the Venus de Milo to give your garden an elegant touch.
• Include a stone garden angel or two: Get an angel statue like the Glory del Cielo sculpture to add classic, angelic beauty to the backyard.
• Buy one or more stone lion sculptures: Lions were displayed in Victorian gardens because they are a sign of nobility, power, and majesty. Give your backyard a noble look with the Lion Of Florence Sentinel Statue.

It becomes that much easier to turn your backyard into a Victorian garden for the next seven days because you get 20% off the regular price of all resin garden statues from today until April 11th as part of our Pre-Season Garden Statues Sale!

Spring is here for many places in the USA and Canada and in addition to being a time to clean out the house, it's also the season to think about how you are going to decorate the garden. Warmer weather is just around the corner and that means opening the pool, hosting memorable evening garden parties, and spending a lot more time in the backyard. It's time to look through your collection of garden sculptures, pick out those to be put on display, and maybe even give away the statues you have never used. In all likelihood, the time has also come for buying a few new statues and when you can get a 20% discount, there's little reason to wait to augment your garden sculpture collection.

Angel statues don't just grace cathedrals, churches, and cemeteries. Sculptures of those celestial beings also look right at home in just about any backyard. They can add a sense of peace and comfort to your place and are among the most classic of garden statuary decor. It's no surprise that a lot of people love angel statues and some of us are tempted to make our own. We might get that idea from arts and craft magazines or simply because we love to create artistic decor for the home but when it comes to angel statues, you are much better off just buying them.

Making a beautiful angel statue for the garden is nothing like weaving, quilting, crafting home decor, or even wood carving. It requires a knowledge of either sculpting marble or knowing how to work with and make statues of carefully engineered resins. Once the resin statue cools and hardens, you also have to know how to paint it to give it a faux stone finish. Such endeavors are far from easy to accomplish and require a great deal of skill and training. In other words, it's the type of thing that is best left to artists and experts that create such beautiful and affordable works as the Praying Basilica Angel Statue or the amazing Monteverde Angel Statue.

The garden is meant to be decorated with statuary. Whether the backyard is used to grow vegetables, for dinner parties, or for playing badminton, it's also the perfect place for displaying a stone garden angel or a collection of classic Greek garden statues. Sculptures give your place a regal touch, allow you to express feelings about your faith, and can be used to add both drama and peace to the backyard. The fact that statues aren't carved from slabs of marble also make them much more affordable than the sculptures that graced Roman villas and Victorian era gardens. Although you could certainly find sculptors who are willing to create a marble statue for thousands of dollars,nowadays, it's far easier to buy garden statues that are made from quality resin.

Resins are used as the medium of choice for high quality statues because this material is much more affordable and weighs much less than granite or marble. The fact that it's also much more pliable than natural stone means that it can be used to create incredibly realistic animal garden sculptures such as the Catch of the Day Grand Bear Sculpture, or Zarien the Zebra. Although resins can be used to make beautifully delicate garden fairies, they are also engineered to last for decades (and should last for centuries with proper care).

Furniture is more than just function. Tables, chairs, and lamps can and should also act as decor. For example, an Egyptian-themed room might look nice with a few statues, an Egyptian urn, and Egyptian-themed paintings but include a sculptural glass-topped table and the room goes from being impressive to simply stunning. The same goes for tables with a Gothic touch. The following are three other reasons for buying Gothic-themed tables:

• They add a regal touch to the dining room: Furniture like the Lord Raffle's Grand Hall Lion Leg Coffee Table is modeled after antique tables that were used by Victorian era English nobles. The rich colors, quality, and durable nature of this solid Mahogany table make it an heirloom piece that will last for generations while the carved motifs and lion paw legs turn it into fine, functional decor.
• Gothic furniture combines stunning beauty with function: Given its refined beauty, quality Gothic furniture could easily be used as decor and nothing more. However, our Gothic and Medieval tables were built to last and also be used for elegant dinner parties, as a gorgeous addition to the library, or as impressive private office furniture.
• They are on sale: One of the other main reasons why it's worth it to order these and other fine tables today is because you will get 20% off the regular price!

Save 20% on fine Gothic furniture, garden statuary, and everything from the Design Toscano site when ordering today until March 31st.

Some animals have such a striking, impressive appearance that they look like living works of art. One such charismatic animal is the Tiger. This large cat used to roam the forests and grasslands of Asia from Iran in the west to China in the east. Unfortunately, this top predator has disappeared from large areas of its former range and is currently endangered. Although it still survives in protected areas and reserves, it's very difficult to see even in those places.

Whether you take a trip to India to try and see a Tiger or not, you can pay homage to the wild beauty of this rare feline with Tiger statues. In keeping with the secretive nature of this big cat, put the Grand Scale Bengal Tiger statue near protective cover such as a hedge or a tree. Its nearly eight foot in length and beautiful details make this one of the most realistic tiger statues you will ever see!

Couple the grand scale adult tiger with equally realistic and incredibly cute Bengal Tiger cub statues. These life-like sculptures capture the inquisitive nature of tiger cubs and deserve to be displayed out in the open.

With spring in the air, it's time to plan your garden statuary display.

While garden guests appreciate your Bigfoot statue on one side of the backyard, thrill others with Roswell, the Alien sculpture on the other side of the pool. Don't worry, this friendly alien shows that it comes in peace by gesturing with an open hand. Combine this detailed statue of an extraterrestrial with the Crash Landing Flying Saucer sculpture.

Frogs are some of the more endearing amphibians on the planet. While many of us would rather not touch the clammy skin of those cold-blooded creatures, we enjoy seeing these peaceful looking animals at a garden pond or on a rainforest hike. Their large eyes and wide, faintly smiling mouths give them an innocent look that many people find appealing. That rather cute look is easily adopted by frog-themed, resin garden statues and they make a cheerful addition to any yard.

Get Thurston, the Garden Rock Sitting Toad to add some color to the backyard pond. This realistic amphibian statue shows the same large, bulging eyes, half smile, and webbed feet as an actual frog. Hand painted in bright green and highlighted with subtle yellows and blues, this animal yard statue will demand attention in any backyard.

Pair Thurston with the equally colorful and realistic Ribbit the Frog Garden Statue. Although Ribbit doesn't sit on top of a stone, his crouched stance and bright eyes show that he is just as ready for jumping action as Thurston.

If you would rather put a more comical frog statue on display, you can't go wrong with the cute pair of Boogie Down, Dancing Frogs! Have these frogs strike a pose in the backyard to entertain guests and add some easy-going fun to the garden.

There are many ways to decorate the garden. The right stone garden angel or large Buddha statue can add a heavenly touch of peace and tranquility to any backyard, there are exquisite garden fairy and animal statues that can be hung from backyard trees, and gnome sculptures are an easy means of adding cheer. One of the most challenging ways to decorate the garden is also one of the most dramatic. Although it takes a great deal of patience, hard work, and knowledge to create beautiful backyard topiary, the end result can be breathtaking, living works of art. Fortunately, if you lack the artistic mindset and time to create topiary, you can still bring the beauty of this art into the backyard with topiary animal garden statues.

European style sculptural topiary items require nothing more than placing them into your garden to give it a beautiful, topiary touch. The Sculptural Swan is a lovely piece of decor that expresses the grace and beauty of a swan in green, faux leafy form, while the Bunny Rabbit will be a hit with kids of all ages. The Sculptural Flamingo also shows that statues of these stately birds don't need to be pink to be beautiful.

The metal frame and fade-resistant, faux leaf foliage used in these items turn them into permanent topiary that requires neither watering nor clipping.

The gnome statue has become a popular mainstay of modern garden decor. These little creatures tend to be much more cheerful than fairies and pixies, and most are downright jolly. They also add cheer to the garden with brightly-colored clothes, are right at home in any backyard, and do a variety of garden chores with typical, easy-going, gnomish flair.

Plowing Pete is a gnome who loves to use a tractor for garden work. Although he might spend more time just relaxing on the tractor than actually doing any work, he takes care of the mushroom patch with a good-natured smile.

While some gnomes are taking care of the garden, others are taking a well-earned nap after reading a good book. Snoozing Booker the Garden Gnome happily dreams away the afternoon while relaxing under a spotted mushroom.

Whether actually weeding the garden or just taking a snooze, all of that hard work makes for a very dirty gnome at the end of the day. Tubby the Bathing Gnome washes off the dirt at the end of a long day by taking his bath in a barrel below a handy garden faucet.
