STATUTE

Article 415
(4) Statues, reliefs, paintings or other objects for use or ornamentation, placed in buildings or on lands by the owner of the immovable in such a manner that it reveals the intention to attach them permanently to the tenements;

Discussion:

A concrete example of this is a fixed statue in the garden of a house, a permanent painting on the ceiling, a picture embedded in the concrete walls of a house, a rug or a carpet fastened to the floor, as in the case of wall to wall carpeting. The objects must be placed by the owner of the immovable and not necessarily by the owner of the object. Of course the owner of the building or land may act thru his agent, or if he be insane, thru his duly appointed guardian.
