Campania International Cliveden Finial

Cast stone is a concrete-based material that mimics the look and feel of natural cut stone. It is highly durable and designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, though it will naturally weather and develop a unique patina over time.

Because of the weight and material, we recommend using a construction-grade masonry adhesive to secure the finial to a flat, level surface. For taller installations, you may want to consult a professional mason to ensure it is properly anchored.

Yes, cast stone is porous and will naturally age when exposed to the elements. You can expect the color to soften and potentially develop moss or lichen growth, which many gardeners find adds to the piece's character.

While you can apply a clear masonry sealer to protect the stone from moisture and staining, we generally advise against painting it. The beauty of cast stone lies in its natural, matte finish, which is designed to evolve with your garden.

The finial has significant weight due to its cast stone construction, which helps it stay stable on a flat surface. However, if it is being placed in an area with high wind or where it might be bumped, using a strong exterior-grade adhesive is the best way to ensure it remains secure.
