Gothic Tables

Inspiration is a key component of creative writing that takes both writer and reader to other, timeless realms. It can come from something as mundane as taking a bus past an old, historic structure or something adventurous as walking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Inspiration also comes from good books, speaking with new, eccentric friends, or walking through a backyard graced by beautiful garden statuary. No matter where the inspiration comes from, the fruits from that tree of imagination are experienced in the form of the written word. The more the inspiration the better so it's worth it to embellish the homes of writers with objets d'art that nudge the imagination.

Gothic decorations and gargoyle figurines are especially suited for encouraging the mind-springs of wordsmiths. They fit best for those who delve in horror and fantasy but will find a welcome home in the den of  any writer. The Blood Dragon Contemplation Sculptural Box is an excellent addition for a large desk or decorative Gothic tables. Use this beautiful, detailed objet d'art of a dragon embracing a skull to store small objects or simply as a unique sculpture. For further inspiration, you can put the Twin Dragons Sculptural Pewter Pen inside the box or leave it out on your desk for signing letters and writing notes.

The Medieval decorating theme is one that impresses every guest and fills your home with fantasy. Gargoyle figurines perch on the walls and vie with dragon tables for the "most intimidating" award. A full suit of armor standing quietly in the hallway exudes power and turns any place into a castle. When you go for the Medieval look, you can never get enough decor or Gothic tables for your home or place of business. However, no matter how many dragons, ancient cabinets, or coat of arms are put on display, the following two items are essential for every personal castle:

• The Chateau St. Roche Sculptural Wall Mirror: A decorative mirror or two or three were essential pieces for every medieval castle. During those pre-industrial times, mirrors weren't exactly a dime a dozen so they were constructed with care and given an artistic flair. The Chateau Saint Roche Sculptural Wall Mirror is crafted in the same, artistic manner to make it just as beautiful to look at as it is to look into.
• The At Battle's End Sculptural Lamp: Lamps are ideal as functional sculptures and this one depicts a tired knight resting and giving thanks after surviving a hard-fought battle.

Find these Medieval essentials and the best in Gothic garden statuary at Design Toscano.

   

It may be April first, but this is no joke. When you order $75 or more of Gothic decorations or anything else from Design Toscano, the shipping is free! No need to worry about those extra costs associated with large purchases such as furniture or a big Buddha sculpture for your Asian-themed garden. As long as the order is at least $75, Design Toscano pays for the shipping on April 1st. This is a type of discount that you can truly take advantage of when ordering big items.

Just imagine how much it would cost to ship the new, life size Bigfoot statue? When you take those shipping costs into account, that's a discount nearly as big as Bigfoot himself! The same goes for the beautiful, grand scale tiger sculpture. It's not going to be cheap to ship that to your home but buy it today and all shipping costs are taken care of.

That free shipping on April first means that today is also the day to start decorating the inside of your home with beautifully detailed Egyptian decor and furniture sculptures like the Gothic Sanctuary Table Cabinet.

Shipping costs are an annoyance but quickly grow into a burden when buying several items or large objets d'art. While the extra dollars for shipping might not be too much with small items, hefty fees get added onto the costs of larger, heavier purchases. Sometimes, they are so much that you seriously begin to consider driving to the store and using your own car to carry that beautiful, antique replica chair back home. That may cut costs but for most people, it's not really an option because the store is too far away or the purchase just too big for your vehicle. When buying online, people don't usually complain too much about the shipping costs because they view them as necessary sacrifices to make in light of the low, online prices and ease in purchasing unique items.

Nevertheless, it's always better to pay less and this weekend you can do just that when making purchases of $75 or more from Design Toscano. It's the perfect time to buy big, heavy items like a large Buddha statue or Gothic tables so take advantage of this last day of free shipping from Design Toscano on $75 or more purchases and place a large order today!

Lamps come in all shapes and forms and many act as intricate works of art. Even though they serve a function, they never need to be boring. That would do your home a disservice, especially since there are so many beautiful and interesting means of adding light to a room. Instead of using a regular lamp for lighting, you could also provide a soft, warm touch with elegant art deco like the The Desiree Art Deco Lighted Sculpture.

Is it a lamp? Is it a sculpture? It's actually neither and both at the same time. The graceful curves of this art deco piece are beautiful to look at and add elegance to any room. The piece would be beautiful enough on its own but the frosted, lit globe helps it to take on a much more magical appearance. Colored in a trio of faux ivory, ebony, and gold leaf, this sculpture also has just the right amount of contrasting tints to give it an eternal, peaceful, museum-like appearance. While a tiger sculpture or Bigfoot statue adds excitement to a backyard, this beautiful little piece from the Basil Street catalog is functional elegance at its purest.

Find everything from art deco to Greek garden statues and Gothic tables at Design Toscano.

Paris, France. Few other cities generate as many romantic feelings as the French capital. One of Europe's classic cities, Paris has been the seat and center of French society for more than a thousand years. Founded by the Gauls, inhabited by Romans, and beautified by centuries of French culture, Paris is filled with art just about everywhere you look. The white church of the Sacre Coeur beckons from atop a hill. The wide expanse of the Champs Elysees is flanked by Parisian cafes and leads to the massive Arc de Triomphe. The church of Notre Dame is covered in statuary, Gothic Décor, and gargoyle figurines. The Louvre displays one of the finest art collections in the world.

There are so many wonders in Paris that it can be difficult to pick sites to visit. However, one place that should never be left off of any itinerary is the Eiffel Tower. Jutting into the air above the picturesque buildings of this old city, this monument represents Paris for millions of people around the globe and brings to mind the elegance, class, and romance that fill her city streets. Bring those feelings into you living room with the Eiffel Tower table. This small table that replicates the base of the famous Parisian tower is perfect for serving champagne or escargot and adds romance to any night of the week.

A good book opens a gateway into another realm. As the words on the pages are converted into images, vivid scenery, and emotions, the story comes to life in the mind of the reader. You can just about "see" the characters, hear their voices, and bear witness to the drama that unfolds. On many occasions, you may find yourself reading certain chapters and events two or three times before moving on with the story. It's not that you didn't get the picture the first time around. You just want to read it again because the imagery is poignant, the feelings being generated are overwhelming, and the play of words can be savored like a rare vintage.

Books like these aren't exactly a dime a dozen as they are the literary works that win prizes and take you to other places. The quality of the writing deserves all of your attention. Reading such books in mundane places like the subway, a coffee shop, or the office diminishes the experience and is why they should be reserved for a classy reading chair nestled in the quiet comfort of your home. The chair that fits the bill perhaps more than any other is The Bentley Grand-Scale Armchair. Whether sharing a room with Egyptian art, Egyptian decorations, or Gothic tables, this chair will always be ready and waiting for a good book.

February will be coming to an end soon and that means that Spring is just around the corner for many people in North America. Even though back on February second, six more weeks of winter were predicted by a groundhog named, "Phil", you can bet that gardens in many places will be ringing with bird song any day now. Another event that comes in conjunction with the arrival of Spring is the early Spring catalog from Design Toscano. Watch out for a catalog filled with hundreds of unique items such as animal garden statues, Gothic tables, and beautiful Egyptian-themed objets d'art.

Design Toscano adds new sculptures, beautiful hand-crafted furniture, and framed art to the catalog on a regular basis. Open the pages to see the new items you can add to your garden, bring a fresh look up your home, and add some excitement to the office. With Spring on the way, it might be time to put in a few new garden fairies, or put out that tortoise statue. The Saint Francis statue will also act as a unique means of feeding the birds.

Check out the early Spring catalog to find those new pieces perfect for your home. Order them from the early Spring catalog and get 15% off!
 

February 14th is here and millions of couples are celebrating this most romantic day of the year with visits to their favorite restaurants, trips to the movies, and romantic getaways.

This year, it's also happens to be the last day of our anniversary sale so don't forget to shop and save at the Design Toscano site while looking forward to your special evening.

Keeping in line with February the 14th, why not buy a Vici Cupid with Bow Statue? This classy, little sculpture shows a slender cupid so eager to smite the hearts of all passersby that he is standing on his tippy toes.

Or, if a more dramatic depiction of Cupid is called for, get a beautiful sculpture showing the God of romance embracing his wife "Psyche". The Cupid and Psyche statue in faux verdigris bronze makes for an elegant addition to any desk as well as an inspiration for intimacy.

If you already have a Cupid and Psyche statue on display, you can't go wrong with the Cupid and Psyche wall frieze. This romantic decoration works well in both the inside of your home and in the garden.

Wall sculptures are an excellent addition to the decorating theme of any home. Almost like a cross between a painting and a statue, they add texture to the wall and bring your house to life. Partly for this reason, Gothic Décor works especially well in the form of wall sculptures.

While gargoyles are classic Gothic statues that can guard doors into your home and into your bedroom, they look even better when they appear to be hanging off a wall. The Double Trouble Hanging Gargoyle can act as both a guardian to a doorway and as an intriguing decoration on an otherwise bare wall. There are also gargoyle figurines and dragons that look as if they are running up the wall!

Speaking of dragons, put up the Morgoth Castle Dragons wall sculpture for an exciting, frightening scene of vengeful dragons bursting out of the wall in flight with a haunting castle as a backdrop. As realistic as the dragons in that sculpture look, however, they can't compare to trophy dragon skulls hanging in the den! Don't be surprised if guests insist on inspecting these detailed sculptures and some might even ask where you shot them!

Highlight your Gothic wall decor with Gothic tables and other furniture. No matter what you buy from Design Toscano, you will get 20% off the regular price until February 14th!

While you may be happy with the furniture you already have on hand, one way to change the look of a room is with an indoor statue.  An indoor statue doesn’t need to be as bulky as it may sound to you.  Browse our huge selection of indoor statues and you will likely find at least one, if not two that inspire you to change the look of an entire room with just one piece.  We have some in every size to fit every budget as well.  Here are some ideas.

Knight statues to some may sound like something gothic and dark, but you can add a knight to any room and change the tone instantly.  Life sized or table sized, something as simple as a Gallant Knight on Horse Statue will make  bold statement in any room.

A garden angel statue is another way to make a room go from traditional to serene.  Most of our garden sculptures can be used either indoor or out, and are beautiful ways to showcase your more spiritual side.  St. Michael the Archangel Statue will fit perfectly in any space, and create just the tranquility you are looking for. 

This breathtaking Veiled Maiden Sculptural Bust is one of our marble busts for sale that is not an overly religious symbol, but still offers a serene appeal in a very affordable way.

This is just a start to getting your imagination in gear for changing the look of your favorite room.  Stay tuned for more ideas on how to decorate with indoor statues!

When it comes to redecorating, there are a number of ways to go about doing it.  You always want to start off with a theme in mind, and set your action plan from that point.  One way to change the look of an entire room and recreate the theme of your choice without going overboard is by adding one or two new or eclectic pieces that embody your theme.  No matter what theme you go with, furniture is a great way to set the tone.  Here are some ideas on how one piece of furniture can help you redecorate in such a simple way.

Medieval home decor comes in all shapes, sizes, and looks, and it doesn’t need to be overly Gothic to make the statement.  You can see how a statement piece such as our York Monastery Solid Hardwood Gothic Bench can change the tone of your entire room without having to redo the whole room.

An outdoor garden sculpture is another way to create a theme without having to completely redesign.  As well, you don’t need to keep your sculptures for outside in the garden all year round. When the temperatures start to dip, bring them inside and establish the theme in your interior design.  A sculpture that doubles as a glass topped table such as our Warwickshire Dragon Glass-Topped Coffee Table can change the look of any inside room in a heart beat.

There are a number of ways to renovate, by why break the bank when you don’t have to.  One or two key pieces of furniture in the room you are redoing is all you need.  And since all of our furniture is now on sale with a 20% reduction, there is no better time to do so.

The look of medieval home decor is one that many people love but aren’t sure how to get just right.  As well, many people adore the look of the Egyptian era, and the regal ambience that just one piece can create.  If you have been looking for a way to make your home feel more like a castle, you can do so very easily.  Here are some ideas on bringing the royal right into your own living room.

Egyptian tables such as our The Sultans Elephant Sculptural Side Table will turn any room into a palatial scene in an instant.  This piece is not only exotic, but ready to serve you like the king or queen that you are.

Another way to add a medieval or Gothic touch is through gargoyle figurines strategically placed throughout your home.  These figures are figures of protection, and whether you add some gargoyle art, or something as clever as a gargoyle toilet paper holder, you create a Gothic touch without going overboard.

When it comes to decorating Gothic style, you can go as big or as small as you like while still making the same regal statement.
