About this piece

back to top

A charming pair of antique lifesize lead garden herons standing on circular composition stone bases, dating from the early 20th century.

These tall and elegant heron sculptures each have naturalistic stances – one with neck raised and beak lifted into the air, the other with neck low and foot raised as if on the move – and there is an intentional slight bounce to them which adds a little bit of movement in a waterside breeze!

They’d be best suited to a sheltered outdoor location such as a summerhouse porch or garden room. You can just imagine them near a pond or in a lakeside garden, just as real life herons would be found in nature.
