Know before you buy
These are authentic antique staddle stones dating back to the 18th or 19th century. They were originally used as structural supports for granaries in England before being repurposed as garden ornaments.
Given the weight, we recommend placing the stone on a level, compacted surface or a stone paver to prevent it from sinking into the soil over time. Because it is freestanding, ensure the ground is stable enough to support the 350-pound load without shifting.
No, the natural stone is inherently weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. It will continue to develop a natural patina over time, which is part of the character and charm of an authentic antique.
Yes, traditional staddle stones consist of two separate pieces: the cap (the flat top) and the base (the tapered column). They are held in place by gravity, which makes them easier to move in two separate parts.
Very little maintenance is needed. You can gently rinse the stone with water to remove debris or moss if you prefer a cleaner look, but most owners leave them untouched to preserve the weathered, historical aesthetic.
