Owl Garden Stone Statue, Lot 1113
This lot is a garden stone statue of an owl, offered as lot 1113 in this sale. The bird is shown perched upright on a rounded rocky plinth, a traditional garden ornament form intended for outdoor display.
The owl is modelled with a broad, rounded head, short ear tufts and carved feather detail across the chest and wings. Its eyes are set with dark glass-style inserts that give it a watchful expression. The figure rests on a textured rock-effect base with a shallow, tiered upper section, which adds height and interest when placed in a border or on a lawn. No maker or manufacturer marks are visible in the photographs provided.
Condition, Originality and Collector Interest
The statue shows an overall weathered finish, with lichen growth, light moss staining and general outdoor wear to the surface, consistent with years in a garden setting. The patina is typical of aged garden stonework and is part of its character. Buyers should inspect the piece in person before bidding, as the photographs do not allow a full assessment of any chips, cracks or repairs. Garden owl figures of this type are popular with those who collect or restore garden ornaments, and the natural weathering may appeal to buyers seeking an established look for period or cottage-style gardens.
