A wide, low garden urn the colour of weathered bronze, made for spilling ferns and loose stems over its rim.
Évangéline is a compote urn planter, the shallow wide bowl of a classical tazza on a short fluted stem and square plinth. It is cast magnesia composite with a gadrooned lower bowl and a rolled rim. The finish is a dark weathered patina in grey-brown with rust-toned shadows, mottled and rubbed back so it reads as an old garden urn left out through the seasons.
It measures 33 cm across and 26 cm tall, a low shape that sits well on a table or sideboard. The wide mouth suits a loose arrangement of ferns and stems or a trailing plant that spills over the edge. Indoors it works as a centrepiece, and outside it holds its own on a porch, patio or garden table. The arrangement shown is for styling and is not included.

How to style it
A few ways to use it:
Fill it with a loose mound of ferns or trailing greenery as a table centrepiece, the way it is styled here
Plant a low arrangement with a liner and stand it among your other planters
Use it on a console or sideboard with candles and a small sculpture for a layered vignette
Set it on an outdoor table for a garden-room look
Stylist's Tip
The low wide bowl wants width, not height. Mass ferns and soft stems so they tumble just over the rim, and let the gadrooned bowl and dark patina show beneath.
Care & Keeping
The cast magnesia finish suits indoors, a covered spot or the open garden, and the dark patina 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 dark patina will weather further 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 shallow pot dropped inside. A hole can be drilled if you want to plant directly, with gravel underneath for drainage.
What can I put in it?
It suits low, wide arrangements: ferns, loose stems, a mounded posy or a trailing plant. The shallow bowl is made for spread rather than height. The arrangement in the photos is not included.
What style of decor does it suit?
French Provincial, classical, country and formal garden looks. The dark patina also works in moodier, more rustic interiors.
How big is it?
It measures 33 cm across and 26 cm tall, about the size of a large fruit bowl on a foot. It weighs around 3.4 kg, so it sits firmly as a centrepiece.
Because Évangéline is hand-finished, slight variations in tone and the weathered patina 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 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.
