Overgrown statue

Our new website showcases many of our 1,500 pieces in inventory while the New England Garden Ornaments Facebook page features new design creations and inspirations. We are constantly sourcing new items, so please check back often.

For this week, I’d like to showcase this image of a sculpture uploaded by Starry Diadem on Flickr. I started looking into sculptures that have been overgrown as I was doing my research. I really love the framing and the angle this photo was taken in; it really highlights the beauty of both the statue and the growing nature! (This is a blog post for my art class at Texas State University!)

For centuries, antique & vintage statues have played a prominent role as focal points in gardens, from large antique stone statues to small concrete statues

"Any moral character is closely bound up with scenes of autumn: those leaves that fall like our years, those flowers that fade like our hours, those clouds that flee like our illusions, that light that grows ever feebler like our intelligence, that sun that grows colder like our loves, those rivers that freeze over like our life, all weave secret bonds with our fate..." ~ François-René de Chateaubriand
