Design Toscano Lion of Florence Sentinel 28 Inch Cast Stone-Resin Statue, Antique Stone Finish, Indoor/Outdoor

A 28-inch cast stone-resin replica of a Florence guardian lion that adds architectural drama and garden presence to indoor or outdoor spaces.

Inspired by the grand entrances of historic Italian estates, this Design Toscano Lion of Florence statue brings a stately, sculptural focal point to patios, front steps, or interior rooms. Hand-cast from crushed stone bonded with durable resin and finished in a UV-resistant antique stone patina, the lifelike Sentinel measures 13" wide x 21.5" deep x 28" high and weighs 21 pounds—large enough to command attention, light enough to reposition as needed.

How will this lion statue change my entryway or garden?

Positioning one or a pair of these lions creates instant formality and a sense of arrival. Their classic posture and antique finish echo traditional estate ornamentation, elevating curb appeal without permanent installation.

• Creates symmetrical focal points at doorways or gateposts
• Adds visual weight and historical character to pathways
• Works as a stand-alone accent in planting beds or on porch landings

Is the statue weather-ready for outdoor display?

Yes—the piece is designed for outdoor use but benefits from routine care. The crushed stone and resin composite resists typical weathering, and the UV-resistant antique stone finish helps maintain its color when exposed to sunlight.

• Durable stone-resin composite for freeze-thaw resilience
• UV-resistant finish to limit sun fading
• Bring indoors or under cover during extreme winter conditions for longevity

How heavy and large is the lion, and is it easy to move?

At 21 pounds and measuring 13"W x 21.5"D x 28"H, this statue is substantial but still manageable for two people to reposition. The size reads as near life-scale while remaining suitable for standard porch steps, garden plinths, or interior display.

• Dimensions ideal for flanking standard doorways or sitting on low pedestals
• 21 lb weight balances realism with portability
• Flat base simplifies secure placement on level surfaces

What materials and finish should I expect?

The sculpture is hand-cast from crushed stone mixed with a designer resin, offering the visual heft of stone at a fraction of the weight. The white antique stone finish is applied to mimic aged statuary while providing UV protection to preserve the look outdoors.

• Crushed stone bonded with high-performance resin for authenticity and durability
• Antique stone finish for a weathered, elegant appearance
• Exclusive Design Toscano production for consistent detail and quality

Who is this for? Homeowners, landscape designers, and interior decorators seeking a classical sculpture that conveys strength and refinement will appreciate this Lion of Florence Sentinel. It suits anyone who wants the prestige of estate-style ornamentation without the cost or permanent installation of real stone. Ideal for porches, gate approaches, formal gardens, or as a dramatic interior accent, this Design Toscano piece fits spaces where a dignified, architectural presence is desired.
