How Much are Metal Garden Sculptures?
Finding the Right Sculptures for You
Styling your home with vintage, new and antique sculptures means adding a touch that can meaningfully transform the space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art.
A single, one-of-a-kind three-dimensional figurative sculpture mounted on your dining room wall is a guaranteed conversation piece, while a trio of abstract works arranged on your living room bookshelves can add spontaneity to the collection of first-edition novels or artist monographs you’re displaying as well as draw attention to them. Figurative sculptures are representational works that portray a specific person, animal or object. And while decorating with busts, which are sculpted or cast figurative works, hasn’t exactly topped the list of design trends every year, busts are back. According to designer Timothy Corrigan, “They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give.” Abstract sculptures, on the other hand, are not meant to show something specific. Instead, they invoke a mood or scene without directly stating what they are portraying.
Busts made of stone or metal may not seem like a good fit for your existing decor. Fortunately, there are many ways for a seemingly incongruous piece to fit in with the rest of your room’s theme. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials?
When incorporating sculpture into the design of your home — be it the playful work of auction hero and multimedia visionary KAWS, contemporary fiber art from Connecticut dealer browngrotta arts or still-life sculpture on a budget — consider proper lighting, which can bring out the distinctive aspects of your piece that deserve attention. And make sure you know how the size and form of the sculpture will affect your space in whole. If you choose a sculpture with dramatic design elements, such as sharp angles or bright colors, for example, try to better integrate this new addition by echoing those elements in the rest of your room’s design.

- What is a metal sculpture?1 AnswerGlenn Green GalleriesFebruary 24, 2021A sculpture created from materials made of metal. This is a broad category. Metal sculptures can be made by fabrication, meaning assembled by hand or machine. Cast metal sculpture like bronze or steel is made from a complex casting process.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023To choose a garden sculpture, first consider what type of subject and style you like. Then, measure to determine how much space you have for the piece. Finally, consider how much exposure the area has to direct sunlight and wet weather, so you can choose materials that can withstand whatever conditions the weather may present. Find a variety of garden sculptures on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021The best metal garden furniture is really a matter of preference. Durable, comfortable outdoor furniture is critical to your hosting a successful social gathering in the garden or on your patio. When shopping for garden furniture, consider the climate where you live and what kind of weather conditions that you’ll experience over a given year. Certain wood outdoor furniture may lose its finish or warp during a hard winter, and while regular steel garden furniture may corrode if left out in the elements over time, it is largely unaffected by sunlight. Plastic or rubber outdoor furniture will likely be vulnerable to UV damage, however. Find a range of antique and vintage garden furniture on 1stDibs.
