Q: What are the 4 available models and their exact dimensions?
Axe (Ax, Ø21xH42cm, 140g, Medium) — the most stocky, very expressive, two-handed tool. Shears (Ø21xH43cm, 140g, Medium) — slightly taller, precise and focused. Shovel (Ø31xH57cm, 340g, Large) — much wider (Ø31cm) and taller, leaning into the effort. Watering can (Ø28xH65cm, 380g, Large) — the tallest in the gnome catalog, proud and generous. The first two are Medium (30-60cm), the last two are Large (61-100cm).
Q: Are these gnomes very light for their size?
Yes — this is an important feature of this range. The Axe and Shears (H42-43cm) weigh only 140g each, and the Shovel and Watering can (H57-65cm) 340-380g — remarkably light weights for these heights. This lightness makes installation and repositioning easier, and makes them less vulnerable to damage in case of a fall. Conversely, on a balcony very exposed to the wind, a slightly sheltered location is recommended for the two Large models.
Q: Can these gnomes stay outside in the garden all year round?
Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated for UV resistance. Their lightness (140-380g) makes them sensitive to strong winds, particularly the gnome with the watering can (H65cm, 380g) which is the largest and most exposed — a slightly sheltered location or against a wall is recommended in very windy conditions.
Q: What is the difference between these large gnomes and the "working" small format gnomes in the catalog?
The size, weight, and stylistic register. The working gnomes (H15-28cm, 170-670g) are collectible figurines — compact, detailed, meant to be placed on a shelf or in a pot. These large format gnomes (H42-65cm, 140-380g) are garden sculptures — large, expressive, designed to be seen from afar in a garden or on a terrace. Two very complementary ranges at two very different scales.
Q: Is this a good gift for someone who has a beautiful garden and loves garden gnomes?
The most impactful gnome gift in the catalog for this profile — precisely because a large expressive gnome in a garden cannot go unnoticed. For someone who already collects small gnomes, giving an expressive large format (particularly the gnome with the watering can at H65cm) is a gift that says "I went further for you." A memorable gift for a passionate gardener.
