Is the column or pedestal included with the Icarus Statue?

No, the statue is not including the column or pedestal. These items are available separately and can enhance the presentation of the statue.

What material is the statue made from?

The statue is made from reconstituted stone, also known as concrete, which is a durable material for outdoor use.

How will the statue look after several years outdoors?

The statue is designed to mature and weather naturally, developing an authentic aged appearance over time. This process enhances its classical charm.

Is the statue suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the reconstituted stone material is robust and suitable for outdoor environments. However, in areas with severe frost, it's advisable to take precautions against water pooling in crevices.

How should I clean the statue?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washing to preserve the detailed finish.

Is this a limited edition item?

Troubleshooting

Statue appears to be leaning or unstable.

Ensure the statue is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. If using a pedestal, verify that the pedestal itself is level and securely positioned.

Appearance of unwanted moss or algae.

Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush and water. For stubborn growth, a mild, diluted soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Noticeable cracks appearing over time.

Minor surface crazing is normal with stone cast materials and part of the weathering process. However, if significant structural cracks appear, assess the base stability and potential impacts from extreme weather or physical force.

Statue arrived with minor chips or damage.

Contact the retailer or manufacturer immediately with photographic evidence of the damage. Minor imperfections may be inherent to the aged affect finish, but significant damage should be addressed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances garden aesthetics with a classical, mythical theme.
  • Durable construction from quality stone cast ensures longevity.
  • Authentic appearance due to natural weathering and detailed craftsmanship.
  • Limited edition status adds exclusivity and value.
  • UK manufactured with traditional craftsmanship.

Cons

  • The supporting column is not included with the statue.
  • Requires a suitable outdoor space due to its size and weight.
  • Stone cast material can be heavy, requiring careful handling during placement.
  • Potential for chipping if mishandled due to the detailed carving.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Placement: Choose a stable, level surface for the statue. Given its weight (34 kg), ensure the chosen spot can adequately support it and is safe from accidental tipping. Consider its final position as it will be difficult to move once placed.
  2. Base/Plinth (Optional): While the statue can be placed directly on the ground, using a compatible stone cast pedestal or column (sold separately) can enhance its visual impact and height. Ensure any pedestal used is level and stable.

Compatibility:

  • Environment: Suitable for outdoor use in gardens, patios, balconies, or courtyards. It is crafted from reconstituted stone (concrete) to withstand various weather conditions.
  • Styling: Complements classical, traditional, and Mediterranean garden styles. It can also serve as an artistic contrast in modern minimalist designs.
  • Accessories: Compatible with Rackhams' range of stone cast pedestals, columns, vases, and urns for a cohesive garden aesthetic.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Generally, the statue requires minimal cleaning. For maintenance, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dust or light debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing, which could damage the detailed finish.
  • Weathering: The statue is designed to mature and weather naturally. This process is part of its aesthetic appeal. No special treatments are typically required to encourage or manage weathering, though you can clean off excessive algae or moss with a mild solution if desired.
  • Protection: While durable, in regions with extreme frost or harsh winters, consider covering the statue or taking precautions to prevent water from pooling in crevices, which could potentially lead to frost damage over extended periods.
