Antique Christmas Presents for Gardening Enthusiasts

Looking for the perfect Christmas present for an avid gardener? You might want to consider an antique stone feature.

If a one of a kind gift is what you’re looking for, antiques are a great choice. Antiques are unique by their very nature - you’re not going to find the same thing in your local garden centre. So if you’re looking for something special for a real gardening enthusiast, West Yorkshire Architectural Antiques can help.

Here are our top picks:

Stone Troughs

Stone Planter - West Yorkshire Architectural Antiques

Whether for a vegetable allotment, flower bed or shrubbery, a stone trough makes the perfect planter.

Stone is hardwearing and durable, and choosing antique is much more environmentally friendly than buying a brand new planter. But practical advantages aside, antique planters offer the benefit of a beautiful rustic appearance that will look right at home in any garden - and it’ll only get better with age.

Bird Baths

Solid stone bird baths are another of our favourite picks for a unique gift this Christmas.

Bird baths are a lovely feature to have in the garden; they act as a great focal point and invite wildlife into the space. If you know someone who loves to watch birds fly around the garden, this could be the perfect gift.

According to the RSPB, you should always use a bird bath with a textured surface. Newer bird baths are often smoother in an effort to appear more aesthetically pleasing, so an antique bird bath’s rustic appearance isn’t just great for us to look at, it’s better for the birds too.

Sundials

Stone Sundial - West Yorkshire Architectural Antiques

Ornamental sundials are a fantastic addition to any garden, but when you buy them brand new, they’re not always made to last a long time, and it can be difficult to find one that is truly unique.

Antique sundials are often beautifully detailed and won’t look like the mass produced garden ornaments you’ll find on the high street. And if you choose one that’s been reconstituted or maintained, it will have the detailed definition of new, but with the wonderful, aged appearance of antique.

West Yorkshire Architectural Antiques are specialists in reclaimed garden antiques. If you’re looking for a one of a kind gift this Christmas - or if you’re looking to spruce up your own garden, take a look at our garden antiques.
