About

Bring timeless French elegance to a garden, terrace, or interior conservatory with this impressive pair of antique French Chambord urn planters. Crafted in France circa 1920, the substantial cast iron jardinieres are raised on fluted pedestal bases over square plinths and feature deep bowl-form bodies with gadrooned decoration inspired by classical urns of the Louis XVI period.
Each planter is adorned with elaborate pierced scrolled side handles embellished with foliate and acanthus motifs, lending the pair a refined architectural presence. The hand-painted finish has weathered beautifully over centuries of outdoor exposure, developing a rich layered patina with areas of oxidation, surface rust, and softened cream-colored paint that enhance their authentic antique character.
The generous planting wells are ideal for displaying seasonal flowers, topiaries, or trailing greenery. Equally striking flanking an entryway, garden path, or pool terrace, these antique French urns combine sculptural beauty with practical functionality.
This pair is in good condition commensurate with age and outdoor use, exhibiting expected weathering, oxidation, and paint loss consistent with centuries of exposure. The decorative handles remain intact, and the urns retain a wonderfully aged surface throughout.
