Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re a fan of gargoyle statues, here are a few frequently asked questions that can help you learn more about these fascinating decorations.
What do gargoyle statues do?
Architecturally, gargoyle statues historically worked as water spouts. By extending off of the main body of a building and curving downward, they gave rainwater a path from the upper part of a building to the ground, ensuring that water didn’t damage the stonework. Aesthetically, garden gargoyles symbolize protection from dark forces and malicious powers.
Do gargoyle statues ship for free?
When you place an order with The Soothing Company, you will receive free shipping, provided you are located in the contiguous United States.
Where should gargoyle statues be placed in a house?
Large gargoyle statues can fit several different purposes in a home. Although they were traditionally used to direct rainwater, you likely won’t need them for this purpose, as your home likely has gutters already. You could place them by your door as a symbol that protects your home against evil, or within a garden to spiritually and physically scare away pests. It’s entirely up to you!
How long does it take to get a gargoyle statue?
Because The Soothing Home’s pieces are made special for each order, there is no way to determine a concrete timeline for your gargoyle statue. However, you can reach out to us to inquire about the production time of the statue you are hoping to purchase.
Do you install gargoyle statues?
The Soothing Home does not offer installation services. That said, don’t be intimidated--gargoyle statues are easy to install. Although large gargoyle statues require an additional pair of hands or two, they are relatively easy to move with the requisite manpower. Then, it’s simply a matter of placing them in the correct location.
How do you maintain gargoyle statues?
Gargoyle statues are easy to maintain. To keep your gargoyle clean, wipe away detritus from time to time, washing them with soapy water as needed.
