Gargoyles
Gargoyles have long intrigued man - their grotesque faces have always stirred interest and their fearsome countenance has raised so much interest but whatever our thoughts are, gargoyles have been widely used in medieval Europe including Scotland, Britain and France. Initially, gargoyles were used as downspouts luring water away from the foundation of the establishment, then later interest arose in creating unique gargoyle sculptures that stand guard to protect the dwellings. One such landmark includes the famous Notre Dame Cathedral in France. Our gargoyle catalog includes a unique selection of fiberglass resin gargoyles, stone garden gargoyles, gargoyle candle holders as well as unique gargoyle gifts and gargoyle wall plaques for the home and garden. |

There were always mixed feelings which came with the use of gargoyles in medieval Europe - most held them in dismay because of their contorted and ugly features drawing faces from animals, creatures and even human beings like monks but gargoyles, whatever they be, will always remain a focal point of interest in the garden. The medieval church saw them as protectors of the garden and it is said that a sculpture or two when kept around, will protect those who dwell within the area in which the gargoyle is expected to protect. So, why not consider some of our gargoyle statues and sculptures for your garden - the literature tells of their constant use in Europe and for those who believe in them, gargoyle statues may just deliver the kind of care you are looking to have! They also make neat gift ideas with choices that include our gargoyle card holders and even wall plaques. |
