Q: What is the difference between this XL goat and the small standing goat from the catalog?
Mainly the size, weight, and use. The standing goat (29x15xH27cm, 1kg, Small) is a compact sculpture designed for indoors and the balcony — elegant and precise, but in a discreet format. This XL goat (59x27xH50cm, 4.5kg, Medium) is a nearly life-sized sculpture, exclusively for outdoor use, that stands out in a garden or on a large terrace with the presence of a living animal. Together, they create the most complete goat composition in the catalog.
Q: What is the difference between the XL goat and the XL buck?
The species (female vs male) and the size. The XL goat (59x27xH50cm, 4.5kg) is the female — shorter horns, a finer and more slender silhouette, delicate beard, more graceful demeanor. The XL buck (74x27xH60cm, 5.8kg) is the male — longer and curved horns, fuller beard, more massive silhouette, more authoritative presence. Together in the same garden, they create a very natural and coherent goat couple — the goat slightly smaller, the buck dominant.
Q: Can this XL goat stay in an outdoor garden all year round?
Yes, without restriction — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and the UV treatment protects the cream-white tones of the coat, which are the most sensitive to fading without protection. Its weight (4.5kg) ensures perfect stability in all conditions.
Q: Is anchoring required to install it in a garden?
No — its weight (4.5kg) and its footprint (59x27cm) ensure perfect stability without anchoring on any firm horizontal surface — slab, compacted gravel, or short grass. On very loose soil, a slightly compacted surface under the legs prevents gradual sinking.
Q: Is it a good gift for someone who has a country house or a Provençal-themed garden?
A very well-targeted gift for this profile. The goat is the emblematic animal of scrubland and mountain farm landscapes — its image immediately evokes Provence, Ardèche, the Pyrenees, and alpine pastures. Giving an XL goat to someone who has a country house in this style is a gift that says "I know your garden and what suits it." At H50cm, it is a piece that leaves an impression.
