FAQs

What material is the statue made from?

The statue is made from reconstituted stone, also known as concrete, which is a durable and weather-resistant material.

How heavy is the lion statue?

The statue weighs approximately 170 kg, making it very stable but also difficult to move once positioned.

Will the statue change appearance over time?

Yes, the statue is designed to mature and weather like natural stone, developing a unique patina. This is considered a desirable characteristic that adds to its charm.

Can this statue be used indoors?

While it is durable, its large size and weight make it primarily suited for outdoor spaces. Indoor placement would require a very strong floor and careful consideration of access.

Is assembly required?

No, the statue comes as a complete unit, ready to be placed. Assembly is not required.

How should I clean the statue?

Gently clean with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the hand-finished details and natural weathering.

What are the dimensions of the statue?

The statue measures 88 cm in height, 42 cm in width, and 52 cm in length.

Troubleshooting

Statue feels unstable

Ensure the statue is placed on a perfectly level and firm surface. Check that the plinth is fully in contact with the ground and not rocking.

Surface discoloration or staining

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consult specialized stone cleaning guides for reconstituted stone. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Visible cracks developing over time

Minor surface crazing can be normal with stone aging. For significant structural cracks, consult with the manufacturer or a stonemason for assessment.

Difficulty moving the statue

Due to its weight, it is recommended to have multiple people assist. Using a furniture dolly or moving straps designed for heavy objects may help, but ensure the ground is suitable for moving equipment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates a dramatic and impressive entryway statement.
  • Durable construction from reconstituted stone ensures longevity.
  • Detailed hand-finishing adds a unique, artisanal quality.
  • Heavy plinth provides excellent stability.
  • Manufactured in the UK using traditional methods.

Cons

  • Significant weight (approx. 170 kg) makes repositioning difficult.
  • Requires a strong, level surface for placement.
  • Natural weathering may alter appearance over time, which could be a con for some aesthetics.
  • Size may be overwhelming for smaller spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Location: Select a firm, level surface capable of supporting the statue's considerable weight (approx. 170 kg). Consider its final placement carefully as it will be difficult to move.
  2. Placement: With assistance, carefully maneuver the statue into its desired position. Ensure the heavy plinth is fully stable on the ground.

Compatibility:

  • Surface: Compatible with concrete pads, strong paving stones, or level ground. Avoid soft or uneven surfaces.
  • Environment: Suitable for outdoor use in gardens, patios, entryways, and commercial exteriors.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To maintain its appearance, gently clean the statue periodically with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing, which could damage the finish.
  • Weathering: The statue is designed to mature and weather naturally. This process is part of its character. If a consistent appearance is desired, occasional cleaning will help.
  • Protection: While durable, consider applying a stone sealant designed for reconstituted stone if you wish to further protect it from staining or extreme weather, though this is generally not required for its intended aging process.
