This pair of garden statues adopts a classical revival style, representing two cherub figures named 'Music' and 'Art'. Manufactured around 1940, the ornaments take form in a weathered grey reconstituted stone and concrete composition, displaying a heavily patinated surface alongside visible organic green moss encrustations. The figural carvings depict youthful cherubs holding musical instruments atop integral plinth bases, capturing sculptural depth through detailed hair rendering and drapery folds. Each decorative garden statue stands at a practical height of 48 cm. Suited for placement beside the front door, on a patio, or nestled into a garden rockery, these pieces introduce classical sculpture to outdoor settings.

FAQs

Cherubs and putti have been prominent features in European art and garden design since the Renaissance, drawing inspiration from classical Greek and Roman mythology. Popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries in formal English and French gardens, these figures represented themes of music, nature, and playfulness.

Historic garden statues were commonly sculpted from natural stones such as marble, limestone, and sandstone. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reconstituted stone, cast concrete, and lead became widespread alternatives, offering durability and detailed execution.

Authentic aged pieces exhibit natural lichen, moss growth, and surface weathering that develops over decades of exposure to moisture and frost. Cast seams may be softened by age, and genuine reconstituted stone displays a fine aggregate texture throughout the material.

In outdoor settings, flank a doorway, pathway, or garden step with a symmetrical pair to create focal points. Indoors, place them on stone hearths, within alcoves, or inside conservatories alongside lush greenery to bridge indoor and outdoor living areas.

Brush away loose dirt gently using a soft-bristled dry brush without harsh chemicals, which can strip natural patina. To protect cast stone or concrete from freeze-thaw damage during severe winter months, raise the statues off damp soil using stone pads or bring them under cover.
