Vintage cast cement garden troll statues

This pair of outdoor garden figures depicts stylized folkloric characters resembling trolls or gnomes, crafted from heavy cast cement or concrete. The figures feature heavily textured surfaces with exaggerated facial features, including bulbous noses, large ears, and whimsical expressions. The female figure on the left wears a hooded garment and holds a staff-like implement, while the male figure on the right is seated on a faux-tree stump wearing overalls with visible strap and button details. Both pieces exhibit significant environmental weathering, displaying a heavy accumulation of green moss, lichen, and gray patination consistent with long-term outdoor exposure. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps discernible in the photograph. The construction style, aggregate texture, and heavy patination suggest mid-to-late 20th-century mass-produced garden ornamentation, though the exact age and manufacturer remain unverified. The owner supplies the unverified description that these are vintage cement trolls. The identification of these items as cast cement garden figures rests entirely on their visual material properties, weight appearance, and traditional form factor commonly found in residential landscaping decor.

Per user submission, this pair of garden ornaments is identified as vintage cast cement trolls. Based on what I can see in the photograph, the figures exhibit heavy cast cement construction with characteristic surface weathering, moss accumulation, and traditional folkloric styling. I can't verify from a photo alone the exact age, manufacturing process, or whether any maker's marks exist on the unphotographed bases or undersides. A physical inspection would be needed to confirm the exact material composition and structural integrity. My appraisal estimate assumes the owner's premise that these are mid-to-late 20th-century vintage pieces is correct. In the current secondary market, decorative vintage garden statuary of this scale and style generally attracts steady interest from buyers seeking rustic landscaping elements, with comparable decorative cement pairs typically trading in the $150 to $300 range. If physical inspection reveals these items to be modern mass-produced reproductions or decorative copies rather than mid-century pieces, the value would likely decrease to the $50 to $100 range. To more fully evaluate these items, an in-person examination by a decorative arts specialist, checking for base signatures, and reviewing potential regional foundry characteristics would be required.
