Know before you buy
The gargoyle is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use, so it requires very little maintenance. Over time, the antique stain may naturally weather or soften, which many owners find adds to the piece's authentic, aged character.
At 95 pounds, this gargoyle is quite stable for freestanding placement on a flat, level surface like a patio or a sturdy garden bed. However, if you live in an area with high winds or are placing it on an uneven surface, you may want to ensure it is positioned on a solid, level base.
Because each gargoyle is handcrafted and finished by artisans, there will be subtle variations in the stain and wash. This ensures that your specific piece has a unique, one-of-a-kind appearance rather than a mass-produced look.
Yes, the durable concrete construction is built to withstand outdoor elements. To prolong the life of the finish, we recommend ensuring the statue is not sitting in standing water or deep snow for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to surface wear over many years.
The gargoyle is cast from durable concrete. While it is substantial enough to remain stable in your garden, it is designed with a structural integrity that balances weight and durability for long-term outdoor display.
