Simply perfect

The Midway Garden Sprites were originally designed for the purpose of adorning and watching over Frank Lloyd Wright's Midway Gardens complex, which was built on Chicago's lakefront in 1914, as the last of Wright’s Prairie Style buildings and the beginning of his next phase of daring architectural experimentation and expressiveness through ornamentation.

The Sprites design is based on different geometric shapes - triangle, sphere, cube and hexagon.

Unfortunately most of the Sprites met a premature and unfortunate demise during Prohibition when historic site was demolished in 1929. But luckily a few were saved and eventually given to the Arizona Biltmore Resort. Now called the Biltmore Sprites, these were, in a sense, like the lost children of Wright.

These Sprites sold by Merry Gardeners are reproductions authenticated by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. This is a 12 inch version for having inside your home. A stunning reproduction, cast in stone and finished in sandstone, it can also be put in your garden.

Please note: The pedestal offered for the bigger Sprites is not appropriate for this Tabletop Sprite.
