Hipstamatic Photograph of our Shop

Playing around with Hipstamatic  on my iPhone I took this photograph. I kind of like it — and it also gives the viewer of the different sizes of the  gargoyles for sale.

Shelf of gargoyles in The Stone Griffin
Maxwell gargoyle is front and center in this picture, two of the Itty Bitty Gargoyle tea light candleholders are there, two Skull Critters on the left size, the  base of Gambino, on the lower self is the Skull Looking Glass, a bit of two Guardian of Hopes and Dreams, Vampire Bat Candleholder, and Coffee Freak Chester.

Anyway — let The Stone Griffin satisfy all your gargoyle statue needs!

Little Happy Cat Gargoyle

This guy is Little Happy Cat gargoyle. She is a hand painted, made in USA gargoyle made of cast plaster and with a brown stone patina (and other color accents).

Little Happy Cat Gargoyle
Little Happy Cat is a  very well done piece. Being made of plaster this gargoyle should not be put outside in the weather.

Egyptian Griffin Statue

The Stone Griffin is a retail and online store that specializes in gargoyle and griffin statues for the home and garden.


Egyptian Griffin Statue
This guy pictured here is called the Egyptian Griffin. Griffins have been depicted in Egyptian culture dating  back as far as 3,000 BC.

Our Egyptian Griffin is a bit over 12" tall, made of resin and is suitable for indoor or outdoor display. The color is Moss Stone, and the Egyptian Griffin is available on our website in the Griffin Catalog.

Maxwell, The Desk Gargoyle

This is a gargoyle that we call 'Maxwell.' 

This guy is — as you can see — deep in thought. We call him a desk gargoyle as it seems appropriate to have him on your desk so as to keep you company, and to also help you think!

Maxwell Gargoyle, Washed Gray finish


The picture above shows Maxwell (two views) in the most popular finish, Washed Gray. This is a popular finish as it has a classic gothic look and also with the patina shows off Maxwell's details quite well.

Maxwell Gargoyle, Antique Taupe finish


The finish above, Antique Taupe, is not as popular. I find this finish to perhaps be my favorite! I like the warm look and the aged antique look of it.

Whichever finish you choose — I am sure you will be very happy with Maxwell. He is one of our favorites!

Maxwell is made of hydrostone which makes him best for indoor display. This gargoyle is 7 1/2" tall and priced at $64.

Chester

Chester, a gargoyle
I thought to start this blog writing about Chester. Chester is of my favorite gargoyles that I sell.

I find that gargoyles fall into two types — wicked or whimsical. Chester definitely falls into the whimiscal catagory. 

Chester is a rather small gargoyle, designed to be set on your desk or windowsill to keep you company while writting a blog or whatever activity you might be engaged in.

Chester has a story card that accompanies him. It reads 'Ever watchful and cautious, this palm sized critter keeps his eye out for troubles ahead. Let this little guy keep you company at work or as you cruise the internet.'

Chester is about 3" tall, and priced at $14. Made in USA. For indoor display.
