Everything there is on a grand and generous scale,—seaweed, water, and sand; and even the dead fishes, horses, and hogs have a rank, luxuriant odor; great shad-nets spread to dry; crabs and horseshoes crawling over the sand; clumsy boats, only for service, dancing like sea-fowl over the surf, and ships afar off going about their business.
-Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

"Nature, with equal mind,
Sees all her sons at play,
Sees man control the wind,
The wind sweep man away."
MATTHEW ARNOLD, Empedocles on Etna

About the Bronzes

This garden decor is cast in brass and may have a bronze or other patina.

The basic difference between bronze and brass is bronze contains tin and brass contains zinc – and bronze will cost about 3-4 times as much as brass. How each weathers depends on the composition which can differ with each batch. Bronze is harder than brass, and most people can't tell the difference.

At Gardecor^®, both bronze and brass items are correctly labeled.Click here to read more about the bronzes.

The brass statue is cast by the labor-intensive, a labor and material intense method of casting molten metal that leaves no mold seams called the lost-wax method. It produces a beautiful product without unsightly seams.
