Design Overload

For most Brits the average garden furniture consists of sun loungers, dining and patio sets, and also bbqs. Many homeowners choose to decorate their back gardens with high quality chairs, hammocks and parasols however one family from North Yorkshire used a marble statue as a garden decoration, with no knowledge it actually was worth millions of pounds.

The second century Roman Imperial sculpture was used to decorate the garden at a Georgian country house. However to the owners’ dismay, the artefact was really worth an awful lot of money than originally realised and has fairly recently sold in an auction for £12.2 million.

Typical garden benches are wonderful in a garden simply because they supply seating space for guests as well as a lovely feature point. The statue however, which is over 4ft tall, was eventually relocated indoors after the extent of the item’s worth was discovered and it also was recognised as being an old treasure. The family has just believed it to be a piece of modern day artwork it was known to staff as just being part of the estate furniture.
