A shallow bronze dish raised on scrolled feet, with little birds gathered at the rim.
Chandler is a shallow round dish raised on a footed base, made of metal in a bronze and gold mottled finish. Three small bird figures perch on the rim, a pair on one side and a single on the other. The base sits on three scrolled feet around a central turned foot.
The bowl is about 37.5cm across and the piece stands 21cm tall, wide and low enough to read as a centrepiece. Fill it with fruit, potpourri, dried stems, or pillar candles indoors, or use it as a bird feeder or shallow bath in a sheltered part of the garden. It suits French country, rustic, and garden-leaning rooms.
Why we love it
◆A centrepiece with a story, the little birds at the rim give it charm a plain bowl does not have.
◆Bronze and gold finish, the mottled surface catches light and reads warm and vintage.
◆Footed and sculptural, the scrolled feet lift it so it reads as a piece, not just a bowl.
◆Indoors or out, a centrepiece on a table or a feeder in a sheltered garden spot.

How to style it
Chandler works as a centrepiece or a feeder, so style it for the spot it lives in.
Indoors, fill it with fruit, pinecones, or a cluster of pillars from our candle holders.
On a console or buffet, use it as a low bowl for dried stems or potpourri.
Outdoors in a sheltered spot, add seed or a little water as a bird feeder or shallow bath.
Stylist's Tip Keep what you put in Chandler low and loose, a single layer of fruit or stems, so the birds at the rim stay the focus rather than getting lost behind a tall arrangement.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. It is made as a decorative piece, so keep it indoors or in a covered, sheltered spot outside. Left fully exposed to rain and sun the metal finish will weather and darken over time, which suits a garden look but is worth knowing. Wipe up spills and standing water, and dry it after use as a bird bath. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cloths.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it outdoors?
It is made as a decorative piece, so a covered or sheltered spot is best. Left fully exposed to rain and sun the finish will weather and darken over time. Some like that garden-aged look, but it is worth knowing before you place it in the open.
Is it a bird bath or a bird feeder?
The shallow dish works as either in a sheltered garden spot, with a little water or some seed. It also works purely as a decorative footed bowl indoors. The birds on the rim are decorative cast figures.
What style of room does it suit?
French country, rustic, and garden-leaning rooms. The bronze and gold finish sits well with timber, stone, greenery, and warm metals, indoors or on a covered porch.
How big is it?
The bowl is about 37.5cm across, and around 44cm at the widest point including the birds on the rim. It stands 21cm tall on the footed base.
Would it make a good gift?
Yes. It works as a table centrepiece straight out of the box, and the little birds make it an easy gift for a gardener, a bird lover, or a new home.
Because Chandler is hand-finished, slight variations in the bronze and gold finish 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 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.
