Statuary Selections: From the Whimsical to the Classic

Cast stone statuary and garden accents are available in every form and genre imaginable -- and the options continue to expand as the market heats up for these products. "Every year, new designs come out from all the manufacturers," says Janice Lucioni of Secret Garden Statuary, Seattle.

This breadth of selection is one of the best attributes of cast stone, giving you the creative freedom to set any stage you want for your outdoor sanctuary, whether you're striving for a classic Old World look or simply want to add whimsy or an element of surprise.

Two companies that offer an eclectic assortment of concrete statuary, from the off-beat to the traditional, are Al's Garden Art and Cast Art Studios. There are dozens of categories to choose from including cherubs, wood nymphs, gargoyles, gnomes, religious figurines, nearly every species of animal (even the mythical and extinct), Ini Itu (a modern Indonesian-inspired art form) and birdbaths of all shapes and styles.

Many cast stone manufacturers and suppliers offer specialized collections of concrete statuary and garden ornamentation that allow you to evoke a particular time, culture or architectural style. The distinctive prairie style of noted architect Frank Lloyd Wright is reproduced in a collection of cast concrete urns, vases and sculptural pieces from Nichols Bros. Stoneworks. At Secret Garden Statuary, you can find classic reproductions of statuary from Italy's Tuscanyregion and ancient Greek mythology as well as a selection of pagodas, Buddhas, Japanese lanterns and other symbols of the Orient. Campania recently introduced a collection of concrete garden ornaments and planters replicating pieces from the world-renowned Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, which draws inspiration from classic European gardens.
