Painted Concrete Garden Mushroom Statues, France 1950s

Description
Weather-worn and full of charm, this whimsical pair of red-and-white mushroom statues adds playful nostalgia to any garden. Each concrete piece features a traditional white stem, bright red cap with white spots, and a iron stake, all offering a touch of fairytale enchantment. Inspired by the iconic Amanita muscaria, these mushrooms recall centuries of European folklore, where such forms marked fairy rings and forest magic. Popularized in mid-20th-century garden design and revived through cottage-style trends, they celebrate nature’s quiet mystery. Group them along a path or beneath a tree to suggest something just out of sight. Two pairs available, sold separately. Wear consistent with age and use. 4.5"dia x 7.5"h
