Full details

This set of two grey stone cast garden statues, featuring Mary with Child and Saint Francis with a dove, is ideal for individuals seeking to add a meaningful religious or memorial element to their garden, church, or conservatory. The key benefit is their striking, tall design and hand-finished, aged appearance that creates a spiritual focal point. A potential caveat is their significant weight, which, while ensuring stability, requires careful handling during placement.

FAQs

What material are the statues made from?

How are the statues stabilized?

Each statue comes with an integral plinth for increased stability.

What is the finish of the statues?

They are hand-finished to give a unique, perfectly aged, and classy appearance.

Where are these statues manufactured?

They are handcrafted in the North East of England.

What are the dimensions and weight of each statue?

Mary's statue is 85 cm (Height) x 22 cm (Width) x 20 cm (Length) and weighs 35 kg. St. Francis' statue is 75 cm (Height) x 17 cm (Width) x 17 cm (Length) and weighs 26 kg.

Can I place these statues indoors?

Yes, they are suitable for indoor décor, such as in a conservatory.

Troubleshooting

Statue feels unstable after placement.

Ensure the ground surface is perfectly level. If the surface is uneven, the integral plinth may not sit flush, compromising stability. Adjust the ground or consider placing a stable, flat material underneath the plinth.

Appearance of moss or algae.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush and a mild solution of soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. For stubborn growth, a specialized stone cleaner can be used, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Minor chips or surface imperfections.

These may be inherent to the hand-finished process and contribute to the aged aesthetic. For larger chips, consider a suitable concrete repair compound, though this may alter the 'aged' appearance.

Pros and Cons

  • Adds a significant spiritual and memorial focal point to outdoor spaces.
  • Durable and weather-resistant construction for long-term display.
  • Hand-finished details provide a unique and aged aesthetic.
  • Stable design with integral plinths reduces the risk of tipping.

Cons

  • Significant weight requires careful handling during placement and installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Due to their weight (Mary: 35 kg, St. Francis: 26 kg), these statues require careful handling during placement. Ensure the chosen location has a stable and level surface to accommodate the integral plinth. Lift with care, ideally with assistance, to avoid injury or damage.

Compatibility:

These statues are suitable for all year-round outdoor use in various climates due to their waterproof and frost-proof nature. They are also appropriate for indoor décor, particularly in larger spaces like conservatories.

Care:

To maintain their appearance, clean the statues periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the hand-finished surface. Moss or algae growth can be gently removed with a soft brush and mild soapy water. Ensure they are not left in standing water for extended periods to prolong their lifespan.
