Design Toscano Simone hanging squirrel sculpture, hand-painted stone-resin, life-size 8" tall, outdoor/indoor decor

Design Toscano’s Simone is a hand-painted, life-size hanging squirrel sculpture crafted from stone-bonded designer resin for indoor or outdoor display.

This decorative squirrel captures natural detail and playful character in a small, durable form. Cast from crushed stone mixed with designer resin and finished by hand, Simone mimics the posture and texture of a real squirrel so you can add woodland charm to a patio, garden, entryway, or indoor vignette without the maintenance of a live animal. At 7½" wide, 5" deep and 8" high and weighing about one pound, Simone is lightweight enough to hang from a tree or nail yet substantial enough to look convincing beside shrubs or on a shelf.

What materials and finishes are used on Simone?

Simone is hand-cast from crushed stone blended with a durable designer resin, then hand-painted by artisans to achieve realistic coloring and texture. The materials are chosen for realistic heft and outdoor resilience, though prolonged exposure to extreme weather may accelerate wear.

• Crushed stone mixed with designer resin for authentic weight and texture
• Hand-applied paint layers for natural shading and detail
• Seamless sculpting to capture fur, paws, and facial features
• Lightweight (approx. 1 lb) for easy hanging or placement

How can I display Simone in my garden or home?

Simone is designed for versatile placement: suspend on a low branch, hook to an exterior wall, or tuck next to a bench or planter to create a whimsical focal point. Indoors, she works well on a mantel, bookshelf, or entrance table to introduce a touch of nature to your decor.

• Hang from tree limbs, shepherd’s hooks, or wall hardware
• Place near bird baths, planters, or garden benches for contrast
• Use indoors on shelves, mantels, or entry tables for seasonal styling
• Lightweight design makes repositioning quick and simple

Will Simone hold up outdoors year-round?

The sculpture is crafted to resist typical outdoor conditions, but it’s best to avoid constant exposure to severe weather. For maximum longevity, place Simone in semi-sheltered spots or bring her indoors during harsh winters and storms.

• Durable stone-resin composition resists normal outdoor wear
• Hand-painted finish may fade slowly with extended sun exposure
• Recommended to shelter during extreme cold, heat, or heavy rain
• Easy to clean with a soft brush and mild soap if needed

How big is Simone and what makes her a good gift?

At 7½"W x 5"D x 8"H and about 1 lb, Simone is life-size for decorative impact without dominating small spaces. Her detailed craftsmanship and playful pose make her a thoughtful gift for gardeners, animal lovers, or anyone who appreciates handcrafted décor.

• Compact footprint fits small patios, shelves, and window ledges
• Realistic sculpting appeals to nature enthusiasts
• Hand-painted finish adds artisan value
• Ready to hang or display with minimal effort

Who this is for: Simone is ideal for gardeners, homeowners, and gift buyers seeking a low-maintenance, nature-inspired accent. If you want realistic outdoor or indoor ornamentation that adds charm without the upkeep of live wildlife, Simone provides a handcrafted, artist-finished solution suitable for patios, porches, mantels, and garden corners.
