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.
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.

I was scared to open my parcel due to past experience with buying on line with less than perfect purchases.
This parcel, from the packaging to the presentation has been more than expected.
Thank you very much.

My recent purchases look amazing in my garden… my delivery arrived promptly and the communication from Chateau was explanatory as to where and what was happening. I liked the follow up emails … thanks
I am so glad I bought these beautiful Dragonflies! I only have a small front verandah, but I wanted to place them out here. Dragonflies, are my spirit animals.
I bought special hooks to place on the window so I could hang them. I placed them behind my buddha, and I feel they look very decorative and effective.
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.
