All Sculpture

Our sundials and outdoor sculptures are available in a number of finishes that will ensure your outdoor artworks can stand the test of time. Marine-grade stainless steel is often a bestseller for outdoor spaces, but it’s particularly durable in coastal areas. Copper, oxidized steel and bronze work with the elements to age gracefully. Our iconic verdigris patina, is a popular finish often seen on metal art and traditional garden statues. Hardy and timeless, this popular finish would suit any style of outdoor space.

Mirror-polished stainless steel is a popular material for outdoor sculpture as planting in your yard can be reflected in its surface. It adds a contemporary touch to any outdoor space. More traditional favorites include copper, oxidized steel and bronze.

Garden sculpture is generally considered more sophisticated than general outdoor decor. Sculptures are more like outdoor art, and the category can range from animal sculptures and bird baths to outdoor furniture, water fountains and striking freestanding designs such as obelisks and sundials.

A sculpture garden or sculpture park is a curated collection of three-dimensional artworks thoughtfully placed in an outdoor space, such as a public park or a public or private garden, so that they can be experienced together with nature. Sculpture gardens are an expression of garden art, landscape design and architecture in one space. Art sculptures displayed publicly have been proven to have a positive influence on those who encounter and engage with it.

Abstract sculpture focuses on shapes, forms and textures which evoke an emotion or idea rather than depicting specific objects. They’re a popular choice of outdoor decor because they distort or reimagine the environment around them, connecting you more meaningfully to the space.

Mirror-polished, stainless-steel sculptures such as Torus have a reflective quality which invites interpretation and play. Whereas Quiver is an art piece that explores movement and space between indoor and outdoor settings.

Sculptural objects can transform landscapes into realms of discovery, creating focal points for gathering and reflection. David Harber sculptures are designed to harmoniously blend with their surroundings, inviting us to find and appreciate their beauty. When paired with thoughtful landscaping, outdoor sculptures crafted from high-quality materials like gold-gilded bronze or mirror-polished stainless steel can promote a sense of discovery and play. A glimmer from an abstract metal sculpture tucked away at the end of the yard beckons us outside and inspires a more profound connection with our surroundings in that moment.

If the materials used are high-quality, abstract statues are durable and suitable for outdoor use. If you’re considering adding a stone or metal sculpture to your outdoor space, have a conversation with the artist or design studio you like to ensure the materials you choose will last.

Yes, you can leave a garden sculpture outside during the winter if it has been made with a high-quality, durable material. We recommend metals such as a high-grade stainless steel or copper, oxidized steel and bronze, which work with the elements to age gracefully over time.

Weather conditions affect outdoor sculptures differently depending on the material of the sculpture. For example, an oxidized steel sculpture in a coastal location will weather more quickly than a marine-grade stainless steel. Before choosing a sculpture, carefully consider where your sculpture will be displayed and seek advice from a reputable design studio, such as David Harber.

Each design will have its own maintenance requirements. General advice is to avoid abrasive chemicals and rough cloths as this could damage the craftsmanship of the finish. Instead, regularly wash dirt away gently with warm water.
