Color

Longshadow is hand made using limestone, sand and cement. Natural
variations in the color of limestone cause slight variations in the color
of Longshadow products. The natural pearl white color of Longshadow,
LS 0009, complements buff Bedford Indiana limestone.

The photograph to the right has a Munstead 19 Planter, LS 9042 with
a natural mossy patina that developed after an application of spoiled milk.
On its right the Chesapeake 24 Planter, LS 9106, shows the natural pearl
color, LS 0009, of a newly cast planter

Patinas
A patina of green tan and gray mosses, molds and lichens will
develop over time in humid areas.

The photograph on the left shows a Lake Bluff 32 Planter,
LS 9044, that has been growing Japanese Painted Ferns,
Astilbees and native Ferns in a woodland setting since 1994.
The sides of the planter are green with moss.

The photograph to the right shows the patina of natural
aging that has developed in a dry, sunny location.

Washes

The natural pearl color of Longshadow is beautiful and allowing it to weather naturally is best. Nevertheless, we have developed an assortment of washes for projects when an immediate effect of aging is desired.

Classic Garden Ornaments, Ltd., designs and manufactures high quality, dry cast limestone Longshadow
planters, pedestals, finials, figures, pool surrounds, benches, birdbaths and beautiful barriers in
Arts & Crafts, Prairie and Traditional styles, for exterior residential and commercial use.

Dry cast limestone has the texture, appearance and durability of carved limestone at a fraction of the cost.
Dating to Roman times, dry cast limestone has a natural porosity that makes it frost-proof and enables it to
withstand decades of weathering. Dry-cast limestone is suitable for all-season exterior use for residential
and commercial, street and mall site furnishings.
