The Sculpted Column
'a classical alternative to mediocrity'
Columns of various designs and sizes,
have always captured human imagination and have been included in the
structure of every civilization, great and small, throughout the ages.
They continue in popularity as much today; perhaps more so as, with benefits
of today's technology, cost effectiveness permits the addition of stone
columns to even the most modest home, as well as the most modern.
Illustrated are some of the ways our company have employed expertise in this
field, also the various column designs. Included are decorative coping
stones (left & right) and balustrades for which we have become well known
throughout New Zealand.
A natural extension to the classical column is of course the decorative
garden piece - the sun dial, the birdbath and, latterly even a stone
letterbox which in turn has yielded its pride of place to the garden
sculpture. It is perhaps in this field that the local white stone of Oamaru
demonstrates to the world its versatility as it yields easily and
graciously to the tools of craftsmen and artists alike.
