A wide compote urn in chalky antique white, scrolled handles and a crusty old-garden finish, made to be the centre of a table.
Fabien is a compote urn planter in aged metal, a low wide bowl with twin scrolled handles on a turned pedestal foot. The bowl is gadrooned in soft ribs with an embossed band of linked ovals below the rim. The finish is a chalky, distressed antique white, crusty and speckled with rust tones so it reads as a long-loved garden piece.
It stands 21.5 cm tall and about 34.5 cm across the handles, a low, wide shape made for a centrepiece. The open bowl suits a loose, spreading arrangement or a potted plant dropped inside. Use it on a dining table, a console or a mantel, indoors or in a sheltered spot. 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, spreading arrangement of foliage or stems, the way it is styled here
Drop a potted fern or trailing plant inside as a cachepot and stand it with your other planters
Use it on a dining table or mantel with candles for a centrepiece
Set it in a sheltered garden and outdoor corner where the crusty white suits the setting
Stylist's Tip
The low wide bowl wants width, so let an arrangement spread and tumble over the rim. The crusty white and rust speckle are part of the charm, so keep styling soft and let the finish show.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Keep it indoors or in a sheltered, covered spot for the longest life. Left outdoors the chalky paint will keep wearing and the metal will rust further, which suits the look. Use a potted plant or a waterproof liner inside rather than planting directly, and avoid leaving water sitting in it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plant directly in it?
It works best as a cachepot. Drop a potted plant or a waterproof liner inside rather than filling it with soil and water, since it is a decorative metal piece.
Can I use it outdoors?
It can go in a sheltered outdoor spot. The chalky finish is already distressed and will keep ageing and rusting outside, which suits the antique look. For the slowest wear, keep it indoors or under cover.
What can I put in it?
It suits low, wide arrangements: foliage, loose stems or a potted plant. The shallow bowl is made for spread rather than height. The arrangement in the photos is not included.
How big is it?
It stands 21.5 cm tall and about 34.5 cm across the handles. It is a low, wide centrepiece size and light at under 1 kg.
Is it sealed or rustproof?
No. It is aged metal with a distressed painted finish, made to look old. The rust tones are part of the finish and will develop further with damp.
Because Fabien is hand-finished, the chalky white, crusty texture and rust tones vary across the piece and are part of its character. 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.
