Q: What size to choose between Medium and Large ?
It all depends on the space and the desired effect. The Medium (30 cm, 800 g) is perfect for a terrace, a spacious balcony, or a garden composition among other elements — it integrates without dominating. The Large (41 cm, 1.2 kg) is made to stand out in the garden or on a large terrace — at this size, it becomes a true standalone focal point visible from several meters away. For the indecisive, the two together create the most successful composition.
Q: Can these sculptures stay outside all year round?
Yes, without restriction. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and the UV treatment protects the warm tones of the shell, which are naturally more sensitive to fading without protection. The weight of the two sizes (800 g and 1.2 kg) and their wide, low silhouette ensure excellent stability outdoors.
Q: Is the snail depicted in motion or at rest?
In motion — body well out of the shell, antennas raised, posture of a slow-moving animal. This is the most natural and recognizable posture of the common snail, which gives it all its personality and character. Unlike a snail retracted into its shell, this one has a true narrative presence.
Q: Can the two sizes be combined in the same composition?
Yes — it is even the recommended staging. A Large + a Medium in the same space create a natural and slightly playful composition: two snails at two speeds (or two generations, depending on interpretation) crossing the garden together. The gallery photo "snails medium+large" shows the two side by side and confirms their perfect visual coherence.
Q: Is this a good gift for someone who loves gardening and nature?
One of the best garden gifts "with a smile" from the catalog. The garden snail is an animal that all gardeners know — with a well-known love-hate relationship for vegetable gardens. Giving a snail sculpture to a gardener is a knowledgeable and kind wink that says "I know what's going on in your garden".
