About the Item

18th Century English Staddle Stone ‘Mushroom’ Garden Ornament Add a piece of history to your garden with this gorgeous 18th-century English Staddle Stone, often referred to as a ‘Mushroom’ garden ornament. Standing 35 inches high with an 18-inch diameter, this stone is crafted in two parts, showcasing a beautiful patina that highlights its age and character. Traditionally, mushroom-shaped staddle stones had multiple practical uses. They were primarily used to elevate granaries, haystacks, and even beehives from the ground. This design improved air circulation and deterred vermin, as the domed cap shape was difficult for rodents to navigate from underneath. This staddle stone’s timeless design and rich history make it a unique addition to any garden, serving both decorative and educational purposes. Its impressive size and distinct mushroom shape will undoubtedly become a focal point in your outdoor space. Whether you’re a collector of antique garden ornaments or simply appreciate the charm and utility of historical sculpture, this staddle stone is a remarkable find that embodies the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the 18th century.
