Garden statuary is a hallmark of English garden design, and antique garden sculptures can add a touch of classical elegance to your outdoor space. Some popular choices include:

Classical Figures: Statues of Greek or Roman gods and goddesses like Venus or Apollo add a touch of neoclassical splendor to any garden.

Animal Sculptures: Antique animal sculptures, such as lions, eagles, or deer, are whimsical additions that can enhance the natural beauty of your garden.

Mythical Creatures: Creatures like griffins, fauns, or dragons can lend an air of fantasy and intrigue to your outdoor landscape.

Sundials and Birdbaths

Sundials and birdbaths are both functional and ornamental. Sundials serve as timeless timekeepers while birdbaths attract feathered friends to your garden. Antique versions often have intricate designs and weathered patinas that enhance their charm.

Garden Benches

Antique garden benches provide a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of your garden. Look for benches with decorative wrought iron or wooden designs, and consider adding seat cushions or pillows for added comfort.

Urns and Planters

Urns and planters are versatile garden antiques that can be used to showcase your favorite plants and flowers. English garden antiques often feature urns with intricate patterns, classical motifs, or rustic designs, adding character to your garden beds or patios.

Garden Gates and Fencing

Antique garden gates and fencing not only serve a functional purpose by defining your garden boundaries but also provide an aesthetic appeal. Wrought iron gates with decorative scrollwork and intricate designs are highly sought after.

Vintage garden tools, though often overlooked, can be both functional and decorative. Old gardening implements, such as shovels, rakes, and spades with weathered wooden handles, can be displayed as art pieces on garden walls or in sheds.

Garden Lanterns


Antique lanterns and outdoor lighting fixtures can add a warm and inviting ambiance to your garden, especially during evening gatherings. Look for lanterns made of copper, brass, or iron with intricate designs.

Whether you're drawn to classical statuary, functional garden tools, or vintage lighting, there's a wide range of options to choose from. These timeless treasures not only add historical depth to your garden but also offer a unique connection to the past, making them invaluable additions to any outdoor oasis.
