Choose the right large garden statue for your garden
Large statues for the garden define the atmosphere and sightlines. Think in advance about style, size and placement. Will you go for a lifelike giraffe or deer, a bold gorilla, an elegant peacock with open tail, or a modern eye-catcher in metal or bronze? At Eliassen you will find large garden statues for sale that suit private gardens as well as business premises, hospitality venues and parks throughout the Netherlands and Belgium.
Why choose handmade metal animal statues
Our collection of large garden statues is largely crafted from metal, entirely by hand – without machine post-processing. You can see this in the character and details of each piece. Metal is strong, weather-resistant and ideal for life-size animal statues that can stay outside all year round. Thanks to direct import and our own brand, we offer top quality at a sharp price and guarantee a 20-year lifespan.
Size and placement
The right size makes the difference between blending into the greenery and becoming an iconic eye-catcher. Think of compact showpieces around 100–120 cm near paths or terraces, medium-sized statues of 140–180 cm for borders and sightlines, and imposing statues of 200 cm and higher for driveways, lawns or business entrances. Place a large statue in the garden on a stable, level surface and consider sightlines from the house, path and street.
Maintenance and lifespan
Our metal garden statues are designed for outdoor use and require minimal maintenance. Clean them occasionally with lukewarm water to remove dirt. Extra post-treatment is normally not necessary. Thanks to the high-quality finish and material choice, we promise a 20-year lifespan under normal outdoor use.

Material choices explained
Many people compare large garden statues by material. This helps your choice:
- Metal – strong, full of character, handmade, long lifespan and relatively light for its size.
- Bronze – luxurious look, very durable, ideal for classic and timeless gardens.
- Concrete – solid and heavy, fits robust styles, less easy to move. See our Large classic garden statues (concrete).
- Polyester or plastic – lighter and more budget-friendly, less authentic in appearance. At Eliassen we consciously focus on metal and bronze because of durability and looks.

Frequently asked questions about large garden statues

Thanks to our direct import and own brand, we offer sharp prices in every size class. Feel free to request the current price for the model you like.
How much does it cost to have a statue made?
Custom work is usually more expensive than an existing design, because design, molds and finishing are done specifically for you. Looking for something unique in the spirit of our collection? Contact us — we are happy to advise on the best option within your budget.
Which paint is suitable for garden statues?
Our metal statues do not need an extra coat of paint. If you want to refresh the look after years, use a high-quality metal paint or clear coat for outdoor use and always test on an inconspicuous spot first. Clean with lukewarm water beforehand for good adhesion.
