Laure Beehive Honey Pot Set of 2, Pine Timber with Brass Bee
30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
Two small pine skeps, ribbed like a real hive, with brass bees that look as though they have just settled on the wood.
Laure is a pair of honey pots turned from pine timber into the round, ribbed shape of an old straw beehive. The coils wind up the body the way they do on a real skep, and a few brass bees rest on the sides, caught as if they have just landed. Each lid is the same warm pine, lifted by a small brass ring worn down to a soft gold.
The larger stands about 14 cm tall and the smaller about 11.5 cm, a touch more with the ring raised, and both lift open to a hollow inside. Keep them closed as a quiet pair on a kitchen shelf, or open them for rings, trinkets, or the small things that gather by the kettle. For anyone who loves bees, they are a gift that hardly needs wrapping.

How to style it
A few ways to use them:
- Stand the pair on a kitchen shelf or windowsill where the light finds the brass.
- Open the smaller one for rings and earrings on a bedside table.
- Add them to a bee or garden scene with other garden and outdoor pieces.
- Give one with a jar of local honey for a warm, easy gift.
Stylist's Tip Set them where the morning light can reach, a sill or an open shelf, so the brass bees catch a little gold and the pine warms up. Two heights, the larger behind, reads best.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth and lift each lid by its ring. Keep Laure indoors and dry, since pine timber does not like damp or long hours of sun. The pots are decorative rather than food-safe, so for anything edible, sit a small liner or jar inside.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pots come in the set?
Two, a larger and a smaller, both pine with a brass ring on the lid and brass bees on the body.
What are they made of?
Turned pine timber, with a small brass ring-pull on each lid and cast brass bees on the sides.
Can I keep honey in them?
They are decorative rather than food-safe. For honey or anything edible, sit a small jar or liner inside. They suit trinkets and dry keepsakes best.
How big are they?
The larger is about 14 cm tall and the smaller about 11.5 cm, a touch more with the ring raised. Both are small enough for a shelf or a bedside table.
Will mine look like the photos?
Close, not identical. Laure is hand-finished from natural timber, so the grain and tone vary a little between the two pots and from set to set.
Because Laure is hand-finished from natural timber, slight variations in grain, texture and tone 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.
