DETAILS & SIZE
A tall trumpet urn in chalk white, worn back to the gilt beneath the way an old gilded piece softens with age.
Anaïs is a trumpet urn planter, the tall bell-flared shape of a French gilded urn. It is cast magnesia composite with a beaded rim, a draped lambrequin band below the bell, a gadrooned lower bowl and an acanthus collar on the stem, all on a stepped square plinth. The finish is an antique white worn back to a warm gilt-toned undertone, chipped and rubbed so the gold shows through like an old painted-and-gilded piece.
It stands 50.5 cm tall and has real weight to it, so it holds a spot indoors or out. The open bell takes a generous arrangement of branches or stems, or it can stand empty as a sculptural urn. Set it on the floor by a doorway, or raise it on a console or plinth. The branches shown are for styling and are not included.
Why we love it
◆Tall trumpet-urn shape, the bell flare and lambrequin band read as a French gilded garden urn.
◆Cast magnesia composite in antique white, worn back to a gilt-toned undertone with beaded and acanthus detail.
◆An open bell for arrangements, fill it with branches and stems using a liner, or stand it empty as a sculptural piece.
◆A statement at 50cm, the kind of piece that anchors an entry or a quiet corner.

How to style it
A few ways to use it:
Fill the bell with tall branches or pampas for height on the floor, the way it is styled here
Plant a topiary or trailing greenery with a liner and stand it among your other planters
Set a pair either side of a door or mantel for a formal, balanced look
Group it in a garden and outdoor corner with weathered timber and aged metal
Stylist's Tip
The gilt undertone catches the light, so place Anaïs where a lamp or window can pick it up. Keep planting loose and tall to echo the open bell.
Care & Keeping
The cast magnesia finish suits indoors, a covered spot or the open garden, and the worn white and gilt will mellow further outside over time. Keep it out of waterlogged soil and standing water, and bring it under cover in frost. A clear outdoor sealer once a year will help the finish last longer. Use a liner or a separate pot when planting so moisture does not sit against the inside.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes, in the open garden, on a porch or on a patio. The magnesia composite is made for outdoor use, and the white and gilt finish will weather gently over time. Avoid waterlogging, and bring it under cover in frost.
Does it have a drainage hole?
It comes without a drainage hole, so it works best with a liner or a nursery pot dropped inside. A hole can be drilled if you want to plant directly, with gravel underneath for drainage.
Is the gold real?
No. The gilt-toned colour is a finish worn back beneath the white, not a precious metal. It gives the look of an old painted-and-gilded urn.
What style of decor does it suit?
French Provincial, classical, country and formal looks. The white-and-gilt finish also suits elegant, romantic interiors.
How big is it?
It stands 50.5 cm tall with a 31 cm rim, about knee height on the floor. It weighs around 3.7 kg, so it sits firmly.
Because Anaïs is hand-finished, slight variations in tone and the worn white and gilt are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
Store owner replied:
Thank you, Debra. So happy Miss Angelique arrived just as beautiful as you hoped. Lucie
This mirror is beautiful, well worth the money spent. Now I have to add the matching floor mirror to my bedroom😅
The communication with Lucie was impeccable. So refreshing to get a prompt response to an email, thank you.
The only gripe I have is the cost of delivery but I managed to score a discount due to the warehouse move.
I have started a Christmas list of Chateau Living products for my hubby😊
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much, Sandra. So glad you love Serena, and that we could help quickly. Enjoy finding her a floor mirror friend. Lucie
I love everything I have ordered from you guys
The look really suits my decor
Store owner replied:
Corinne, a frog doing a handstand for the grandchildren to find is exactly the job we had in mind for him. Thank you for sharing the photo. Lucie
It’s beautiful
the only things I thought disappointing
Were .. it’s a bit smaller than indicated by 3 cms across the bowl
And it’s pretty much all grey not a rustic patchy colour
It’s still beautiful
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for the honest review and the photo, Lynne, and I'm so glad you still find her beautiful. The 30cm is measured across the dish including the little bird perched on the rim, so the bowl itself is a few centimetres smaller. We'll make that clearer on the listing. The grey version has a weathered stone finish, chalky on the raised edges and darker in the recesses, so it reads as mostly grey. If you ever fall for the patchier rustic look, the Willowmere also comes in a natural rust finish. Lucie
