Reconstituted Stone Badger Garden Ornament, England 1960s
-
Description
Exceptionally well-cast in composition stone, this 20th-century English garden statue depicts a badger with remarkable in-the-round modeling. The remnants of black and white paint, along with the detail in the face and body, capture the animal’s distinctive character, making it an ideal feature for a garden room or conservatory. Badgers, stout and low to the ground, belong to the mustelid family alongside otters, weasels, and wolverines, and are built for digging and burrowing. Though not a single species group, they share similar fossorial traits. This statue reflects the English fondness for wildlife in garden ornamentation, blending naturalism with tradition in a way that has charmed collectors for over a century. Wear consistent with age and use. 21"w x 7"d x 6"h
