Rabbit & Hare Statues

The hare has been a garden subject for as long as English gardens have existed, and it is a different animal from a rabbit in sculpture as well as in life. A hare is longer in the leg and the ear, built for speed and usually shown mid-movement; a rabbit is rounder, lower and generally shown at rest. Both are in this collection and the distinction is worth knowing before choosing.

Bronze does much of the range because the poses demand it. A leaping hare balances the entire animal on one hind foot, and boxing hares stand upright on their toes. Those cannot be carved without a support that ruins them. Marble, stone and resin cover the seated and crouching figures where the weight sits on the ground.

The range covers seated and crouching rabbits, leaping and running hares, boxing pairs and moon-gazing figures. Browse the bronze work in bronze hare, fox and fish statues, and the wider subjects in wildlife sculptures and animal sculptures and statues.

These are border and planting pieces rather than lawn pieces. A hare works best partly obscured, appearing between grasses or at the edge of a bed, and at modest scale it reads at close range rather than needing distance. Most are suitable for permanent outdoor display. See garden statues.
