The time is fast approaching to turn our thoughts away from our outdoor décor and look what we might want in our indoor living space. Now that the DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SALE is upon us, starting August 16th to August 20th, let’s find some great indoor décor. For those who love our
Japanese garden statues, you might like the Japanese Rickshaw for Hire Statue. This piece is a great little candle holder based in a lovely detailed rickshaw which is being pulled by a hand painted attendant in traditional dress.
Our large Buddha statue is very popular with customers with large yards that still want a piece of serenity and meditation. You can now get these same statues scaled down for your indoor meditation area. We have the
Jolly Hotei and Laughing Buddha Sanctuary Statue Set which brings two of our most popular outdoor Buddha
statues inside. This is a set of the two happy Buddhas, with Jolly Hotei being 13” tall and the seated laughing Buddha being approximately 7” tall and just as detailed as the large ones in designer resin.
Get the set at our DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SALE August 16th through August 20th.
The place to look for museum quality indoor and outdoor décor is always our Basil Street Gallery. If you are searching for a piece the works well in a room with an
Asian theme, take a look at the Peking Opera Mask Wall Sculpture: Dian Wei. The warrior, Dian Wei, is fiercely painted in this delightful mask and the detail in his headdress is incredible.
Now is the time to get this colorful Asian mask during the DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SALE August 16th through August 20th.
Medieval times always have us thinking of knights, castles and damsels in distress, and of course, there are gargoyles and dragons too.
Design Toscano knight statues and armor wall hangings are the best around. An example is The Skull of Vahalla Viking Warrior Wall Statue which is 12” tall and the very essence of fierce and dominating. He was once a Viking warrior and now he still fights on with his long beard and horned helmet. He is a wonderful addition to any room.
For lovers of the Asian theme that we present in many of our outdoor sculpture such as our Japanese garden statues, now is the time consider bringing the theme inside. There is no better way to do that than to acquire our
Sukhothai Buddha Wall Sculpture. This detailed wall sculpture of the Sukhothai Buddha is 11” high and greatly detailed from the flame on his head to the peaceful and serene aspect of his face. This might add some serenity to a yoga room.

Many of our garden statues are careful sculptures of people that are look almost alive and have great character to their faces like some of our Japanese garden statues. One statue that is done with a great deal of character is the

Design Toscano has many very different statues and décor in the Asian theme which is so popular now.

The Knights of Blenheim Palace: Red Knight Sculpture is part of this series and is over a foot tall, riding a horse whose armor is finished in reddish metallic tone. The knight is in full armor, elaborately detailed with his sword drawn.
When looking for an Asian décor scheme for your yard, the art of the many Asian countries can be mixed to create a wonderful look. We have Japanese garden statues, Asian gods and many other items from the Far East. A special look for an oriental theme might be the
Large Bronze Crane: Set. These large cranes are the Asian symbol of peace and can be bought as a set or separately. The curved neck crane is a little over 3 feet tall and the straight neck crane is three and a half feet tall. They are both piped to be fountains and are just lovely pieces for a peaceful garden.
For something entirely different, you need only look as far as the large selection of items in our Marble Busts for Sale section. There are, of course, many classic pieces of sculptural busts for sale, but also some of the more crazy selections. An example of this is the
Evil Skull Jester Wall Sculpture. This charming fellow is a skull, who is grinning away and dressed in a medieval jester outfit. He’s fun, but not for everyone.
Many people love the medieval theme, but perhaps without the skull and our beautiful knight statues are just the right thing for this theme. We have the traditional knights in the usual armor and then we have knights from certain castles and different periods of history. A very nice piece is the
Royal Gothic Knight of Castel Tures. This is a Gothic Italian knight sculpted with exquisite detail including the rams head helmet and his hand painted tunic in three colors.
Japanese garden statues and other Asian pieces of art are a large part of the beautiful décor pieces that we have at Design Toscano. The Asian theme has been very popular for many years because it is a wonderfully serene décor. A lovely piece that we have is our large
Forbidden City: Chinese Dragon Grand-Scale Urn Statue which is four and a half feet tall made to replicate the porcelain urns of Ancient China. The urn is done in red, a “lucky” color, and there is a detailed golden dragon entwined around it.
So many of our garden statues are childlike and innocent, such as our garden fairy statues, our cherubs and of course our statues of children. What else would children be doing in the yard other than playing and our artists have captured many of them doing just that. One of the best of these is the
Leapfroggin Playing Boys Garden Statue. Here we have two young boys sculpted in lifelike detail as they play leapfrog in a sculpture taken from a 1915 classic and done in a bronze finish. This is just plain fun.
Every yard and home needs a gargoyle somewhere in the décor and we have the gargoyle figurines for you to choose from. There is nothing better than the
Ball-and-Chain Gothic Dungeon Gargoyle Statue. He sits chained to a castle turret and does not look happy and yet he’s charming.
The Asian theme is one of the most popular for serenity gardens and also for meditative indoor spaces. Our Japanese garden statues and other Asian works of art abound with that flavor of the Orient that makes wonderful home décor. One collection that is large are the Japanese geisha statues. One lovely set is the
Japanese Faux Ivory Okimono Geisha Collection: Holding Mirror and Holding Fan. These gracious geisha figures are done in a faux ivory finish with incredible detail in their gowns and their appropriate stances. One is holding a lovely mirror and the other a folded fan. They are sold separately or as a set.
Medieval times have become a décor favorite for many people, some from seeing movies about the times and others from reading books such as the stories of King Arthur and his knights. If you have some medieval tales that you would like to show off we have the knight statues that will do the trick. These are the
Arthurian Knight Bookends which have a knight on each bookend sculpted in a different stance. One is on the lookout for trouble dressed in his armor and the other is all ready to fight with his shield in front of him. These are classics.
We also have very contemporary sculpture for those who would like that in their décor. In our always striking Basil Street Gallery there is the wonderful
Swept Away Sculpture depicting two young lovers in a resin glass-like sculpture that will charm everyone.

We stock many different and somewhat bizarre statues like our Big Foot garden statue and we have some unusual, but beautiful ladies in this area also. Our

In these days of worrying about security and safety, Design Toscano even has décor that will protect your home. For the wall in your garden you could possibly place our
Greek God of the Sea: Poseidon Wall Sculpture near your garden entry. This great god is depicted with excellent
detail with his hair swirling in the sea and his fearsome facial features would make anyone beware of the god in your yard.
There are many Asian gods of protection and some within our Japanese garden statues. All the Asian cultures look to animal gods often and the famous Chinese foo dogs are certainly some of the fiercest of these. Our
Giant Foo Dog of the Forbidden City Sculpture is another Design Toscano exclusive. This sculpture is set on a plinth and is ferocious of face with an orb on his collar guaranteed to keep out all unwanted guests.
All throughout history gargoyles have been placed on castle walls and gates to keep away those who do not belong. These creatures have frightful faces and expressions, great wings and sharp claws. The Design Toscano sentry is
Trystan, Gargoyle Sentry of the Night Sculpture. This creature of our gargoyle figurine collection has wide wings and a fearsome look. He is crouched on a stone column ready to fly at all that is more evil than he is.
If you have ever wanted the joy of having koi fish in your pond or pool, but perhaps do not live in an area where they would survive the winter or just don't want the upkeep problems, Design Toscano has a wonderful solution for you. Among our Japanese garden statutes we have the adorable

We have wonderful Buddha outdoor statues that range from the serene to the joyful and we also have a very serene and well sculpted Chinese statue. This is
Shou Xin Gong: God of Longevity Statue. Shou Xin Gong is a statue of an old Asian man with a long beard (showing his longevity) carrying the "peach of immortality" and the "staff of longevity".
To perk up your Asian theme and add some joy, you should look at our Japanese garden statues. One of the more interesting of these is our
Dancing Asian Fish Spitting Garden Statue Collection. These fish come in four different sizes and are depicted standing on their tails dancing with their mouths wide open. They are piped if at any time you would want to use them as a small fountain spitting water.
We have many extraordinary statues like our big foot garden statue which is quite amazing. In the Asian theme a similarly large and spectacular statue is our
Asian Dragon with Power Orb Solid Bronze Garden Sculpture. He spouts water, so no fear of fire from him, and he is holding an orb in one of his claws. He is large and beautiful.
With Mother's Day coming up in the beginning of May, it is time to think of the perfect gift. If mom likes to decorate her garden, we have many garden cherub statues that she might find adorable and that may reminder of her kids. As we look with anticipation towards 
summer, the Summertime Reflections Cherub Garden Statue should be just the thing she would love. The wonderful little cherub lying down just gazing at flowers in a pool of water is serene and playful at the same time.
For mom or anyone looking for serenity in their garden or yard, they should look at our Buddha outdoor statues. Sometimes Buddha is shown as joyful and almost playful, however, his figure is most often connected with tranquility like the Great Buddha Garden Sanctuary Sculpture with the Buddha statue in a contemplative state sculpted in a prayerful pose.
In keeping with the theme of serenity many of our Asian and Japanese garden statues are perfect for a serene garden or yard space. Maybe not the Sumo Wrestler, but the Meditating Shy Yogi of Bali Sculpture is a figure which is totally bent over in meditation and prayer with his hands covering his face, giving a sense of serenity to the area around him.
Outdoor décor can create a certain thematic charm for your patio, yard or outdoor space. Many people like our Japanese garden statues when setting an Asian theme to their space with our big Sumo wrestler. There is nothing cuter yet more Asian than the panda and like all of our animal statues this guy is lifelike in every way. It's Tian Shan, the Asian Panda Sculpture, sitting on a rock enjoying a nice snack of bamboo.
No matter what the theme of your outdoor décor is, we have outdoor garden water fountains that will fit right in. If your décor scheme is less classical and more fun our wonderful Quenching a Big Thirst Sculptural Fountain would be just the perfect item. Here is a very large, but charming Saint Bernard standing up and taking a drink from a bubbling fountain.
For many the mystical theme is one that they would like to portray in their décor and there is no better way than with a garden fairy statue. Design Toscano has several outdoor fairy statues and it may be tough to choose which of these lovely fairies will fit your space. If you have a flower garden, you could do no better than include our Fiona, the Flower Fairy Sculpture who will watch over your flowers and guide them to beauty with her fragile butterfly wings.
