Design Toscano

Design Toscano represents the country’s leader starting place for garden and home statues and some other antique and historical replicas, which are obtainable on their website, their catalog, as well as in the Gallery store that is situated in Arlington Heights, IL.

Design Toscano was featured in the Inc. magazine’s inventory of the 500 highest growing private companies for three years in a row—a tribute unparalleled among the catalogers.

The founders of Design Toscano, Marilyn and Michael Stopka, created the company in 1990. At the time they were travelling to Paris, the Stopkas first observed the wonderful carvings of the gargoyles as well as the waterspouts at the Notre Dame Cathedral. They were inspired by the attractiveness and mystery of that, and they decided to bring in the beauty of the medieval gargoyles in 1993 to America.

Later, on a journey to Albi, the Stopkas had the enjoyment of being bare to the world of the Jacquard tapestries that they inserted rapidly to their ever-growing catalog. Ever since then, the product line has developed to comprise Medieval, Egyptian, and other epoch pieces that are currently in the middle of the existing favorites of the customers of Design Toscano, along with an widespread assortment of statuary, garden fountains, genuine canvas replicas of a large number of oil painting masterpieces, as well as some other antique art reproductions.

At Design Toscano, the Stopkas have the pleasure of offering the authentic details by traveling straight to the source as an inspiration for all historical replicas. Almost all the components of their catalog contributions are limited to the Design Toscano brand, offering them the possibility of delivering unusual decorative items that are not available elsewhere.
