St. Francis with Dove, Small

Because each piece is handcrafted and finished by artisans, the antique stain and wash will have slight variations. This natural process ensures that every statue has a unique, authentic look rather than a mass-produced appearance.

No, the statue is designed as a freestanding piece. With its 14-pound weight and solid concrete construction, it is stable enough to be placed directly on a level garden surface, patio, or walkway.

The statue is crafted from durable, weather-resistant concrete intended for outdoor use. While it is built to withstand the elements, we recommend placing it on a stable, non-shifting surface to prevent accidental tipping during high winds or heavy storms.

Like most outdoor concrete decor, the antique finish may develop a natural patina over time when exposed to direct sunlight and moisture. This weathering process often enhances the traditional aesthetic of the statue, giving it a more lived-in, classic character.

At 14 pounds, the statue is substantial enough to remain secure in most residential garden settings. However, if you are placing it in a high-traffic commercial area or an exposed location, you may want to consider using a discreet outdoor adhesive to anchor it to your chosen surface.
