Sculpture of a stag in white painted cement standing against a tree trunk

About the Item

This majestic white cement stag, gracefully poised against a tree trunk, is a stunning example of early 20th-century garden ornamentation. Inspired by the rich tradition of rocaille art, which flourished in the late 19th century, this piece reflects the growing popularity of cement in landscape design and outdoor décor. As cement became the primary component of modern mortars in architectural construction, its durability, malleability, and affordability also made it the ideal material for garden statuary, furniture, and decorative elements. Resistant to the elements and quick to set, it allowed artisans to express their creativity in an entirely new way, giving rise to rustic, naturalistic designs that became highly sought after by the emerging bourgeoisie. This stag, with its textured surface and time-worn patina, embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of this era. Whether placed in a classic French garden, a woodland-inspired retreat, or a grand estate, it will bring a sense of history, charm, and noble beauty to any outdoor space.
