Fiore Stone Dog with Basket

Because it is crafted from natural stone, the statue is naturally durable. Over time, you may notice some weathering or moss growth, which many people find adds to the charm, but you can simply clean it with a soft brush and water if you prefer to maintain the original finish.

Yes, being made of solid stone, the piece has significant weight. It is designed to be freestanding and stable, so it should remain secure on level ground like a patio or garden path without needing additional anchoring.

Stone is generally weather-resistant, but if you live in an area with harsh freeze-thaw cycles, it is best practice to elevate the statue off the ground or bring it into a shed or garage to prevent moisture from seeping into the base and potentially causing cracks.

While the design remains consistent, the handmade nature of these pieces means there will be slight variations in texture, color, and finish. These subtle differences are part of the artisan process and ensure that your specific statue is unique.

The basket is purely decorative and part of the sculpture's design. It is not intended to hold plants, water, or other items, as it is solid stone.
