Testimonials

 "After visiting Banyon temple in Cambodia, I wanted to have a copy of the face of  Jayavarman VII at home. I could not find it in Cambodia. I contacted  Stonelove and sent a few pictures of the original. I discussed dimensions and color and artistic design with them. The carving of both the face in the pedestal and the face of the king are as close to the original photos as I had hoped. They even recreated the lines in the face and in the pedestal giving it the appearance of multiple stones making up the sculpture instead of two large pieces of sandstone. I would anticipate, after 700 years of season changes, the colors and moss will likely make my pieces of art indistinguishable from the originals. I have no hesitation in recommending the stonecarvers and businessmen at Stonelove."   Richard Morgan. Oklahoma, USA. 
 

 

"The temple lions really are wonderful. The attention to detail is extraordinary and the finish appears perfect! 

We searched many sculpture studios trying to find one with reasonable prices.  You have been outstanding & the payment schedule was excellent.

It was great being able to watch the sculptures come to life with each set of photos you sent. 

I have nothing but the highest regard for your superlative sculptors & ease in working with you to put our designs in stone.

I would easily say your craftsmen have done an outstanding job."  Peter Chiappori. U.S.A.

 

"Initially I was nervous about about all the possible things that could go wrong when buying from the internet. I was relieved and pleasantly surprised when my stone fountain did arrive. Its the perfect finishing touch to my Oriental water garden. Many thanks."  L. Harris. U.K. 

 

"I wanted to thank you for you help in creating our beautiful Buddha sculpture.  I still can't believe that everything was conducted via the internet with such ease.

I appreciated all of your suggestions and help with the final design of the piece.

The digital photos you sent of the carvers at work are amazing and act as a diary of the creative process.  I thank you for making everything so easy, from concept to delivery.  Everything was perfect and extremely easy for me.  All I had to do was arrange to have him placed on his pedestal.

I would not hesitate to recommend you as I am an extremely satisfied customer.  I hope one day to find a place for one of your dragons." Sandra Simpson. Ontario. Canada.
 

 

"The sculpture arrived today and it looks even better than it did in the photos! I am tempted by another couple of items, but probably in the new year now."  J. Parker. U.K.

 

"All the great garden designers know that one of the most powerful and eye-catching things you can put in your garden is a statue. But the fussy and overdone statues on offer on the internet, or at my local garden centre, were not reflecting the new mood of statuary.  I wanted something modern and powerful with clean, clear lines. Who commissions their own artwork? It turned out to be me. And it turned out to be easy. Inspired by the gargoyles on Gaudi’s unfinished cathedral in Barcelona, I wanted to pay a similar tribute to all the lowliest and most scorned creatures on the planet, and celebrate their often-unrecognised beauty. Using  photos of the snails that glide over the vertical walls of the Sagrada Familiale and real snail shells, the stonemason has produced a remarkable and striking focus for my garden.  It draws the eye in a way that even your most remarkable tree never can.  A garden without a statue?  Its like a sitting room without a fireplace!" Felicie Oakes. Birmingham, UK.
 

 

"Thanks for the shetland sculpture, it's brilliant & looks lovely in the garden. The artists have done an amazing job and a beautiful recreation of the pony on the photos. My gardener was here when it arrived & unpacked it for me. He was very impressed & has offered to make a plinth for it to sit on, which will lift it up a bit & also give extra protection."  Ms. Prothero. Herts, UK.

 


"After looking everywhere for an authentic Easter Island head, we were lucky to find Stonelove. Using pictures that we sent them, they carved an Easter Island head in solid sandstone and we received our custom made statue six weeks after placing the order.

We were constantly kept updated on the progress of our statue and were amazed that it arrived so quickly and safely.

The one metre high statue creates a unusual atmosphere in our garden and we are delighted that the statue is a unique work of art rather than a molded copy.

Thanks again Stonelove."

"I was searching for a large stone statue of a rhino, but couldnt find any until I found Stonelove on google. I sent suitable pictures and was given a very reasonable quote for an 80cm long rhino carved in sandstone. As promised the statue arrived 6 weeks later and I was astounded by the realism and attention to detail of it. It is a real masterpiece in stone and sits in my back garden brightening it up."  Rosemary Lloyd. West Hampstead, London. 
 

 

"Thanks for all your help with the design, allowing us to fine tune the scultpure to our needs.... The statue is breath taking and occupies the prime position in our back garden!"   S. Weinberg. USA.

 


 
"The sculpture arrived yesterday, it took me hours to unpack since I could only knibble away at the foam for fear of causing damage to the statue. It is in perfect condition and I have only just placed it in the garden. Please thank the artist for me, he has created a lovely piece. It seems a little bizare that a sculpture created on the other side of the world by a Vietnamese craftsman should end up in a country garden on the English/Scottish Border."  Regards, Peter King.
