About

Decorate an outside front door or a backyard with this elegant pair of “Pingouins” (French for penguin). Crafted in France and made of cast stone, each penguin is set on a round flat base. Standing upright, both birds have a sweet and gentle expression and hand painted in a black, white, and orange color palette. Both heavy stone avian sculptures are in excellent condition and adorn a rich patinated painted antique weathered finish with evidence of outdoor use. They could be used on either side of a front entrance or in a garden. Each bird weighs 58 pounds. Penguins, with their unique upright posture and charming waddles, have captivated human imagination for centuries. The name “penguin” likely derives from the Welsh “pen gwyn,”. Penguins often represent adaptability, community, and endurance due to their ability to thrive in harsh Antarctic environments and their cooperative social structures. Measures: 10” W x 10.5” D x 26.5” H.
