Our Smithsonian Collection features diverse design styles of American garden heritage from the late 19th and early 20th century. Handmade of cast stone, each piece is designed to replicate the look of natural aging while allowing the softening effects of age and weather to add to the illustrious classic beauty of each piece. Our chic and sophisticated accents combine clean lines and a sense of proportion to create a truly stunning piece of garden art for the discriminating homeowner.
About The Design
This selection from the Smithsonian Collection features true artistry in the combination of form and texture with detailed etchings. Inspired by the historic garden furnishings collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. the collection ranges from the rustic and naturalistic to the formal and ornate. The historic uniqueness of this replicated piece is sure to add a true touch of functional beauty to your outdoor living area décor and be a treasured artifact for years to come.
About The Materials and Finishing
All of our cast stone pieces are manufactured with a high density cast stone mix with a PSI (pounds per square inch) strength of approximately 7,500. While this high density mixture is designed to produce a strong and durable product, proper maintenance is recommended to protect your product. Our artisanal finishing techniques make every piece a uniquely beautiful original. As each patina is hand applied in a multi-step process, no two pieces will look exactly alike due to the variance in the composition of the natural materials in the cast stone. Our patinas are designed to replicate the look of natural aging, but unlike a painted finish, our patinas do not prevent the natural aging process. Any cast stone item with a patina finish will weather naturally in an outdoor environment.
About The Care of Your Planter
If a planter is to be left planted over the winter, it should be raised up off the ground by placing two (2) pressure treated wood strips underneath the planter, making sure not to block the drainage hole. This will allow the soil to drain and will prevent the planter from freezing to the ground.
If a planter is not to remain planted over the winter, we suggest that it be stored in a covered area where it will be protected from the elements. If a planter must be left outside unplanted, we suggest that you empty the soil and turn the planter upside down onto wood strips. Cover or wrap the planter with burlap or any absorbent material (old blanket/towel) and then wrap with dark plastic. This will prevent moisture from accumulating in the planter and decrease the risk of water absorption which, when frozen, can cause the planter to crack or break.
