Their creamy weathered finish gives them the presence of older architectural garden ornament, while the opposing poses make the pair especially effective when used symmetrically.

At 30 inches wide and 25 inches high each, these are notably substantial garden sculptures rather than small decorative accents. They would be exceptional flanking an estate entrance, garden gate, stone staircase, pool house, or the approach to a conservatory, where their classical form would immediately lend structure and permanence to the landscape.

Their scale and solid construction also make them particularly well suited to an English country, Neoclassical, Mediterranean, or Palm Beach garden scheme—pieces that can hold their own against mature hedging, old brick, clipped boxwood, limestone, and traditional architecture.
