The little brother of the pair, an old gold milk can sized for a bunch of something lovely.
Rocco is a lidded canister in the shape of an old farmhouse milk can, his sides embossed with a fern and star pattern and washed in an antiqued gold finish that deepens to shadow in every recess. Two small handles sit at his shoulders and his lid lifts off, finial and all.
At 33cm tall with the lid on, he is the smaller of our two canisters, right for a kitchen bench with wooden spoons, a bunch of dried flowers with the lid set aside, or standing closed beside his big brother Rudi.
Why we love it
◆The embossing, ferns and little stars pressed into every side
◆The finish, antiqued gold rubbed back to shadow in the recesses
◆The lid, removable with its own little finial crown
◆The pair, made to stand with Rudi, his taller brother, at the hearth

How to style it
Rocco earns his keep on benches and mantels alike.
Fill him with dried flowers or lavender, lid leaning at his base
Stand him closed beside Rudi for a matched pair at the hearth
Mix him among pieces from our home accents collection
Sit him beside a vessel from our vases collection to build the vignette
Stylist's TipLet the flowers spill loose and a little wild. Old gold likes company that looks gathered from the garden, not arranged by committee.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Keep him dry inside and out, he is a dry vessel for stems and keepsakes rather than a watertight vase, so use an inner liner if you ever want fresh flowers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is he made of?
Rocco is iron beneath the antiqued gold finish, embossed with the fern pattern and fitted with a removable lid.
Does the lid come off?
Yes, the lid lifts off entirely, so he works as a covered canister, an open vessel for dried stems, or a hiding place for the small things.
Can he hold water for fresh flowers?
Treat him as a dry vessel. For fresh stems, sit a jar or vase inside him so the finish stays beautiful.
Is there a larger size?
Yes, Rudi is his taller brother at 40.5cm with a broader body and the same embossed pattern, listed separately so you can stand the pair together.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The antiquing is worked by hand, so where the gold deepens to shadow varies from piece to piece, which is part of the intended character.
Because Rocco is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I lurve the Rocco French Provincial Lidded Canister. It's just gorgeous! My pics are not its final destination or styling. I added these very large hydrangeas so you can see how big it is and how much it can hold. The product is high quality and stands on its own regardless of how you choose to style it. I adore the antique gold finish and will be buying other products. Communication about my purchase and delivery was great, and all products were packed well. Thankfully, I'm in a 2-bedroom apartment; otherwise, I'd need a VIP card.
I love my new products and will be purchasing more. They are particularly nice next to my ginger jars, but I'm testing out places for them before I decide whether I will style them with or without a floral arrangement and where they'll be placed. This is a great quality product and the size I wanted (fairly large). The delivery was prompt; communication was great about what was happening and when, and the products arrived safely and without damage, as they were packaged appropriately. I was so happy, I wrote to the team straight away to say thanks.
I enjoyed reading the Chateau Styling Guide very much. I appreciate the collection of beautiful pieces Lucie has made available to her clients. And I agree with the idea that one should never ‘rush’ to complete a room or your home. It is so satisfying to finally find that one special piece you know will add to the look of your home. Thank you so much for this booklet. It will be a great resource to refer to.
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.
