Statues, Sundials and Birdbaths
Haddonstone
Ever since English gardens began to be influenced by those of Italy, urns, fountains and statues have found an honourable, often the most honourable, place in their scheme. They contribute very much to the embellishment and magnificence of a garden, whether large or small, terraced or open-ground.
“Garden ornaments provide emphasis and accent in a garden, drawing the eye in a particular direction. Most ornaments, because they are solid and static objects such as urns, seats, columns or statues, provide a contrast with the living things around them.”
David Hicks, 1929-1998
Spring, one of the Four Seasons
This series of statues depicting the seasons was specially commissioned by Haddonstone. Spring stands demurely holding a sprig of pussy willow in her right hand.
The Roman Sundial is the latest addition to the Haddonstone Sundial Collection. It features a stainless steel gnomon to project a shadow across the Roman numerals cast into the sundial top. The sundial is designed by Haddonstone to complement the popular Baluster Bird Bath and would form an attractive centrepiece in a courtyard or cottage garden.
Baluster Bird Bath - This simple baluster bird bath design is ideal for the smaller garden.
Baluster Sundial Plinth - This simple baluster sundial design features cyma reversa moulding to both the square base and table. In each corner the table top has been decorated with vermiculated rustication. Designed exclusively for Haddonstone, these beautiful solid-brass dials and gnomons are accurately calibrated to five-minute intervals and feature the Haddonstone sundial verse:
Arcadian Bird Bath - A stylish baluster bird bath.
Arcadian Wall Sundial - Includes gnomon. Designed for south facing walls, this decorative ornament gives an insight into the workings of a wall sundial.
