14 Classic Garden Elements: Our Customers' Favorites
Classical garden elements are a wonderful way to add beauty, character, and versatility to our home gardens and outdoor spaces. As a family-owned company that has worked in the industry for nearly a century, we are well-versed in creating products that enhance outdoor spaces of all sizes and styles while withstanding the test of time.
As we begin to plan our gardens for the spring and summer months ahead, now is the perfect time to share some of our customers’ favorite pieces from our collections of garden ornaments and outdoor furniture! Take a look at the top 14 most loved garden products by Kenneth Lynch & Sons:
1. The Grand Chair
The Grand Chair from our Florentine Classics collection is the perfect seating for any outdoor living area, favored by homeowners and designers alike. The chair is handcrafted in our workshop, offers a comfortable, generous seating area, and can be customized with a variety of finishes, motifs, and cushion options. The Grand Chair can also be paired with a matching ottoman or side tables.
2. La Brezza
Our lovely La Brezza, also known as "The Good Fairy” was originally created by sculptor Josephine Kern in 1916. The vision for the piece was to represent "a good fairy that shall be all grace and innocence and sunshine, that shall smile back into the sad hearts of the old world, that shall spur people on to their best, and in that way bring them good luck." The positive symbolism and inviting posture of La Brezza make this statue a beautiful addition to any home garden. The piece is made of natural lead and can also be installed as a fountain.
3. Wall Fountain with Figure
Wall fountains are a popular choice with designers and homeowners as they can be incorporated into smaller gardens or courtyard settings without sacrificing space. Our wall fountains are completely customizable, with the option to add any proportionate figure or statue as the main design element, as well as a variety of rosettes, border detailing, and basin styles to choose from to enhance the design.
4. Classical Tiered Fountain
The Classical Tiered Fountain is one of our most elegant fountain designs featuring a pineapple finial, the symbol of welcome. The fountain is made of natural cast stone with scalloped bowls that offer a beautiful waterfall effect with the flow of water. The Classical Tiered Fountain is available in tiers of two or three, and is often used as an inviting focal point in both public and private settings.
5. Star and Dolphin Double Settee
The Star and Dolphin settee is one of our most popular designs from the Florentine Classic collection. The design is handcrafted in our workshop with a detailed classical dolphin design armrest and a unique backrest with a star motif. The double settee adds a classic and timeless elegance to the home garden or outdoor living space. It can be purchased with custom cushions, or paired with matching ottomans or side tables. The Star and Dolphin Arm Chair pairs perfectly with the Settee.
6. Cast Stone Wall Shells
Our Cast Stone Wall Shells are a wonderful option for homeowners looking for a custom wall fountain. The wall shells are easily paired with any wall mask or rosettes, creating a unique design based on the homeowner’s or designer’s desired style. There are three sizes to choose from, making it possible to create a tiered design with a waterfall effect. The wall shells are intended to be built into new construction surrounded with stucco, tile, or a stone veneer.
7. French Topiary Planter
The French Topiary Planter is a favorite among homeowners looking to elevate their entryway or add visual interest to their landscape throughout the seasons. The planter has a unique design with repeating arches, elegantly detailed posts, and pineapple finials. The planter is handcrafted of painted aluminum and is available in 2 different sizes and a variety of finishes.
8. Dancing Girl Fountain
One of our most charming statues, which can also be designed as a fountain, is the Dancing Girl, which adds a playful element to any garden or outdoor living space. There are two similar figures to choose from, one with the Dancing Girl holding a shell with a bird perched on the edge, and another with Dancing Girl in the center of a shell with four frogs spouting water. Both designs are small enough to fit into a 4' or 5' diameter fountain basin.
9. Classical Four Seasons Statues
Garden statuary is a favorite garden element to add life to a winter garden and is a great companion to blooming flowers during the lush spring and summer seasons. Our elegant set of Four Seasons Statues features four beautiful figures with draped gowns, seasonal bouquets, and finely detailed faces. The molds were created from original stone carvings acquired by our founder Kenneth Lynch in 1964. Our clients cherish the elegant beauty the Four Seasons Statues add to their gardens!
10. Classic Armillary Sundial
The most popular sundial design in our Estate Elements collection is the Classic Armillary Sundial. This piece features the signs of the zodiac and can be customized with decorative features, plaques, and a variety of columns or pedestals on which it can be installed. Our customers love adding the Classic Armillary Sundial to their outdoor areas as a focal point, a dedication, or a symbol for a notable event. The sundial is available in three sizes and is handcrafted of silicone bronze with acid patina.
11. Animal Statuary
Animal statuary is a popular choice among homeowners looking to add charming elements to their landscape. Larger animal statuary such as a majestic lion is a popular choice for elegant entryways, whereas smaller statuary such as rabbits or turtles are whimsical additions to a garden or pathway. Animal statuary is a great way to add a sense of life to the outdoor space or an element of surprise when discovered among the natural landscape.
12. Custom Weathervanes
Our weathervanes are a popular item for businesses or homeowners looking to personalize their properties. Our skilled craftsmen have produced custom-design weathervanes for decades, working with many different sizes, styles, and silhouette shapes. Variations can be made to any of our designs, or our team can work with you to create a design that is uniquely yours.
13. 1939 World's Fair Bench
The iconic 1939 World's Fair Bench is a favorite with parks across the nation, including New York City’s Central Park, for which this bench was originally designed. In addition to being a favorite choice for many parks, the bench is also a sentimental addition for homeowners looking to have this iconic bench in their own garden. This versatile bench is available in different lengths and multiple wood options.
14. Chess Tables
Checkmate! While our Concrete Chess Table is traditionally a favorite element for public spaces and local parks, we have also had homeowners order their own personal chess tables and seats for their outdoor areas. The table top features a green and white terrazzo playing surface defined by inlaid brass strips. Tables can be ordered with a chess or backgammon playing surface, with custom colors, or a plain surface.
