All are plentiful at Fine’s Gallery where we have brought the very best of Italy to your doorstep since 1996. You can also find Onyx, Travertine, Limestone and Quartz imported from quarries ranging from France and Italy to China and Africa and everywhere in between.

    Crafting Elegance: Custom-Made Bespoke Natural Stone Fountains

    • Artist Sketch
    – Fine’s Gallery has worked side by side with international trade partners since the 90’s to bring their clients vision to a reality. One can choose from quite literally 1000’s of past works and including a vast in-stock inventory. However when the job calls for a custom piece, we are able to answer the call.

    In a world where mass-produced items dominate the market, the allure of uniqueness and exclusivity has never been stronger. For the discerning client, the journey to find a truly exceptional piece of art often leads to the realm of bespoke creations. Join us as we unveil the enchanting story of a one-of-a-kind natural stone solid granite fountain, meticulously crafted for a client with an appreciation for beauty and sophistication.

    Plan View of the 144″ diameter quatrefoil shape solid granite fountain ( includes a commercial grade stainless water ring which provides spectacular water effect )

    At the heart of this captivating tale stands a skilled artisan, well-versed in the art of sculpting natural stone. Guided by the client’s vision and inspiration, the artisan embarked on a creative journey that would bring forth a fountain that transcends the boundaries of conventional design.

    Fine’s Gallery employs an experienced design team who will provide the client with outstanding and accurate 3D Model of the custom fountain prior to going into production. While there’s nothing quite like the real thing, our state-of-the art software allows our discerning clients to visualize the outcome in a realistic way!

    Selecting the Finest Material

    Choosing the right stone was the foundation upon which the entire project was built. The artisan meticulously scoured quarries and suppliers to discover the perfect piece of solid granite. Granite, known for its durability, elegance, and rich color variations, emerged as the prime choice. Its timeless beauty and remarkable ability to withstand the elements made it an ideal material for an outdoor fountain.

    An angled view of our 3d model displays the attention to detail we pay to each and every fountain. Flood holes are included to each of the fountains two larger tiers in order to ensure maximum water flow rate is achieved.

    From Concept to Reality

    With the raw materials in hand, the artisan set about sketching and refining the design concept. Collaborating closely with the client, every intricate detail was carefully discussed and modified to ensure that the final creation would embody the essence of their desires.

    The Impeccable Craftsmanship

    The hallmark of any bespoke creation lies in the craftsmanship, and this natural stone fountain was no exception. The artisan’s hands skillfully shaped and chiseled the solid granite, coaxing out its innate elegance while paying homage to the client’s preferences. Hours turned into days, and days into weeks, as the sculptor poured their heart and soul into creating a work of art that would stand the test of time.

    In a world saturated with mass-produced goods, the allure of bespoke craftsmanship is undeniable. As the fountain continues to grace its surroundings for generations to come, it will serve as a reminder of the beauty that emerges when creativity meets craftsmanship.

    Custom Guardian Angel of Freedom Monument

    A custom designed monument made from bronze and marble From Fine’s Gallery of Bonita Springs, FL. https://www.finesgallery.com/_MEM-530-Marble-Memorial-Memorial.htm

    Monuments have long served as powerful symbols of history, remembrance, and inspiration. They encapsulate the essence of a society’s values and ideals, leaving a lasting impression on all who encounter them. Amongst these remarkable tributes stands the awe-inspiring “Guardian Angel of Freedom,” a custom monument crafted with exquisite artistry from bronze and marble. This monumental masterpiece not only captures the beauty of these materials but also embodies the spirit of freedom, vigilance, and protection. Let us embark on a journey to explore the enchanting story behind this remarkable statue.


    The concept for the Guardian Angel of Freedom emerged from a desire to create a symbol of hope and strength that would resonate with people from all walks of life. The artist envisioned a celestial being, crafted from noble bronze and pristine marble, serving as a guardian and protector of liberty.


    Standing tall at an impressive height of 7 feet tall, the Guardian Angel of Freedom exudes a sense of grace and dignity. The sculpture depicts a majestic angel with outstretched wings, enveloping a globe in her protective embrace. The globe symbolizes the unity and interconnectedness of humanity, while the angel’s wings symbolize freedom and liberation. The choice of materials adds depth and symbolism to the overall composition.


    Bronze, renowned for its strength and endurance, serves as the primary medium for the statue’s body. The artist skillfully sculpts the angel’s flowing robes, capturing every fold and curve with meticulous attention to detail. The bronze surface, with its rich patina, exudes a sense of timelessness and permanence.


    Embodying Freedom and Protection
    The Guardian Angel of Freedom embodies the universal longing for freedom and protection. Positioned atop a prominent pedestal in a public space, this magnificent monument stands as a beacon of hope, reminding all who gaze upon it of the indomitable human spirit.


    The angel’s vigilant expression radiates serenity and confidence, inspiring viewers to strive for their dreams and champion the rights and liberties of all. With her wings unfurled, she embodies the freedom to soar above adversity and achieve greatness.


    Impacting the Community
    Monuments have a unique ability to foster a sense of unity and pride within communities. The Guardian Angel of Freedom serves as a rallying point, drawing people from all backgrounds to reflect upon shared values and ideals. Its location becomes a gathering place for celebrations, memorial services, and discussions on the importance of preserving freedom and safeguarding the rights of all individuals.



    The Guardian Angel of Freedom, a custom monument crafted from the enduring materials of bronze and marble, exemplifies the power of art to inspire and provoke contemplation. It stands as a testament to the timeless pursuit of liberty and protection. As visitors pause to admire its grace and majesty, they are reminded of their inherent capacity to safeguard freedom and work towards a more inclusive and just society. The Guardian Angel of Freedom encapsulates the hopes and aspirations of humanity, an enduring symbol that will inspire generations to come.

Featured here is an outstanding quality monumental statuary white marble fountain. Nothing will dazzle your guests quite like a hand-carved marble fountain!

      Once your concrete pad is cured the marble flooring will be installed. Each installer should be aware of the proper ‘modified thinset mix’ to properly waterproof the fountain.

      The marble basin is the first to go in including tiled marble flooring and pool wall sections. Please keep in mind there is no distasteful liner required to waterproof marble fountains! Your installer should provide proper waterproofing materials & techniques!
      The centerpieces are stacked in place using forklift or crane.
      Once operational the marble fountain has transformed this home into a truely awe inspiring estate.
