As we look forward to the promise of spring, it’s the perfect time to revisit the timeless garden elements that our clients cherish year after year and the most beloved garden elements that inspire beautiful outdoor living!

1. La Brezza

The beautiful La Brezza is a special piece that is beloved throughout gardens across the country. This figure, originally created by sculptor Josephine Kern in 1916, is also known as "The Good Fairy” which represents grace, innocence, and sunshine, and is meant to be a sign of good luck. This piece is one of our most requested every year and is made of natural lead. We have also installed this piece as the centerpiece of fountains.

 

2. Star and Dolphin Grand Chair

The Star and Dolphin Grand Chair from our Florentine Classics collection is a timeless statement piece for any outdoor living space, and it is equally loved by homeowners and designers for its enduring style and elegance. All our fine outdoor furniture is handcrafted in our workshop, featuring a generously proportioned seat designed for exceptional comfort. Each chair can be customized with a selection of finishes, decorative motifs, and extra deep seating, which is a unique offering in our collection.

 

3. Dancing Girl Fountain

As one of our favorite versatile fountains, the Dancing Girl Fountain incorporates an enchanting figure into a wall fountain or stand-alone figure with a surrounding basin. The statue is made of natural lead and can be designed with an ornate back plate, a custom trellis, or a decorative pedestal to beautifully complement spaces of all sizes and styles.

 

4. Neoclassical Chaise Lounge

Our Neoclassical Chaise Lounges are designed for poolside living in style with sophisticated customization options that allow our clients to perfect their design vision. The lounge chairs feature a generous width and length, as well as an adjustable backrest for extra comfort and wheels for convenient maneuvering. When choosing your ideal cushion style, our team works with Sunbrella and Perennials Fabrics to source endless color options and one-of-a-kind designer patterns.

 

5. Four Seasons Statues

Some of the most classic pieces in our collection are the Four Seasons Statues featuring four elegant figures for each season with beautifully draped gowns, seasonal bouquets, and finely detailed faces. The molds were created from original stone carvings inspired by Italian Carved Limestone and purchased by our founder Kenneth Lynch in the 1964 after he traveled through Europe. A special favorite of our customers, each of the Four Seasons Statues lends classical beauty to esteemed gardens throughout the seasons.

 

6. Armillary Sundial with Signs of the Zodiac

This magnificent Armillary Sundial with Signs of the Zodiac features a one-of-a-kind design with the signs of the zodiac sculpted by Gifford Proctor and six investigating turtles at its base. For large gardens or outdoor spaces, this substantial armillary sphere (available in a 4' to 6' diameter) can serve as a striking focal point or dedication. Made of silicone Bronze with acid patina, our team can also add gold leaf accents for added effect. 

 

7. Sleeping Lions

Our alluring Sleeping Lions offer a dramatic addition to the garden with highly detailed sculpting that is true to the Italian style. They can be placed in a garden or courtyard, at the facade of a home, or poolside as pictured here. The Sleeping Lions are available with left and right orientation, making a great symmetrical pairing. Made of natural cast stone, each lion weighs nearly 1,000 pounds.
