At Trade Wind Statues™ it is our goal to bring about
positive change in people’s lives. We are achieving this
goal by providing people with magnificent statues, statues that not
only add something special to any space, but statues that are also
bridging cultural and economic gaps. Trade Wind Statues™ is
unique in that we work directly with many of the artisans and people
within the communities where we purchase our statues in an effort to
promote the principles of Fair Trade, while at the same time ensuring
that our statues are of the highest quality available. We are
working with our customers to make sure that they are purchasing a
statue which will represent something meaningful in their lives. We
are able to bring you statues that are of an extremely rare size and
quality in this region of the globe, therefore, we offer you something
that is as extraordinary as the individual purchasing it, and as exceptional
as the one who created it.
Many of the statues that can be found in the United
States are casts, that is, they are a concrete mould which is then
painted on the outside. Though
these types of statues are often inexpensive, they are quite soft and
when they chip, crack, or break, you are left with a very dull concrete
color. All of the statues that we sell are hand carved from stone,
which offers a much higher quality than their concrete mould counterparts. We
currently sell statues made from four different types of stone: black
mountain stone (granite igneous), black lava stone (scoria igneous),
green river stone (conglomerate sedimentary), and limestone (sedimentary)
each one offering its own unique qualities.
