Campania Kneeling St. Francis Garden Statue

Yes, cast stone is a dense, durable material designed to withstand exposure to the elements. While it is weather-resistant, we recommend placing it on a stable, level surface to prevent shifting during freeze-thaw cycles.

The finish is designed to age gracefully. Depending on your local climate and exposure to direct sunlight or moisture, the statue may develop a natural patina over time, which often enhances the antique aesthetic of the piece.

Minimal maintenance is required. You can simply rinse the statue with water and a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or pressure washers, as these can damage the finish.

Cast stone is naturally heavy and substantial, providing excellent stability for garden placement. Unless you live in an area with extreme wind conditions, the weight of the statue is generally sufficient to keep it securely in place.

While you can place it on grass, we recommend setting it on a stone paver, gravel bed, or patio surface. Placing it directly on soil or grass can lead to moisture wicking, which may accelerate weathering or cause the base to settle unevenly.
