Copper garden art can give your outdoor living space a face lift with stunning sculpture, statue and decor pieces. The warm glow of copper can’t be beat – whether it be caught in sunlight or candle light. Being a malleable metal, copper is a favorite for artisans to work with. And with such such a rich appearance, it’s been the favorite of designers as well. From copper flowers to kinetic wind sculptures, from copper rain chains to copper water features – there are hundreds of decorative and functional outdoor items to choose from. We’ve assembled 56 of the best copper garden art pieces – outdoor sculptures, statues and and decor pieces – for you below.
You can choose your copper for the garden from assorted finishing options. Copper looks fantastic when paired with enamels for color. Many love natural copper which will develop a fine patina over time when used outdoors. Or seal your copper pieces with a clear protective coating that will always keep the warm luster and shine. It all depends on your style.
