Chilstone

Chilstone is a distinguished brand specializing in handcrafted cast stone garden ornaments, founded in 1953 by Michael Dibben. With roots at Great Linford Manor, the company later moved to the picturesque Sprivers estate in Kent, before consolidating its operations near Tunbridge Wells. Chilstone is renowned for creating a diverse range of exquisite items, including fountains, statues, and planters, all tailored to enhance both contemporary and historic gardens.

Each ornament is meticulously crafted to mirror the appearance of natural stone, promoting the growth of moss and lichens that give a unique antiqued look. Not only do these pieces elevate outdoor spaces, but they also serve as valuable investments, with some being auctioned at Sotheby’s for significantly higher prices than retail. Chilstone offers bespoke services, working closely with clients on custom projects, and boasts a vast collection of molds, ensuring precision and creativity in every creation. Their products are showcased in famous gardens worldwide, making them a sought-after choice for garden enthusiasts everywhere.
