A Dutch Garden Ornament is a decorative object inspired by the formal gardens of the Netherlands, where symmetry, clipped hedges and architectural planting were complemented by elegant ornaments. Popular during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Dutch garden ornaments include lead statues, urns, planters, sundials and sculptural features crafted from lead, stone and cast iron. Antique examples remain highly valued for their refined design and association with European landscape architecture. *Related Terms*\ Dutch Garden, Garden Ornament, Lead Planter, Lead Statue, Sundial, Urn.
