Discover the rich aesthetic tradition of French garden ornaments here in New Zealand, through Art du Jardin. Our French craftsmen manufacture the most extensive collection of fine cast stone, terra cotta and sculpted stone fountains, statues and urns. Each unique piece is a faithful reproduction of models from the 17^th, 18^th and 19^th centuries and crafted by traditional processes. Dedication to detail and design has given these works a reputation for quality and excellence throughout the world.

Items are cast from pulverized stone or hand sculpted using traditional ancient methods. The caste products are made using moulds formed from original pieces.

Although original, each carved figure is made using the same ancient materials and techniques. Following casting or sculpting, each piece is hand finished with custom finishes selected by the customer. The finishes available are natural, aged and burnished stone. The terra cotta pieces are also hand crafted and baked in an oven at 2200°F. The vases and urns are enameled using a traditional process, giving them an incomparable look and texture.

We invite you to browse through this selection. For details of these and our many other works, contact us.
