A small fluted urn in aged gold, with a little bird come to rest on the rim.
Fernande is a small fluted urn vase in antique gold metal. The body flutes out to a flared mouth and sits on a slim pedestal foot, and a little cast bird perches on the rim. The gold is rubbed back to darker tones in the recesses, so it reads as a found, aged piece.
It stands about 22 cm tall and around 15 cm across at its widest. Fill it with dried grasses or a few faux stems for a mantel or a shelf, or stand it on its own and let the bird be the detail. It is metal rather than sealed glass, so for fresh flowers drop a small liner or test tube inside.
Why we love it
◆A bird on the rim, a small cast bird sits on the edge as the quiet detail.
◆Fluted urn shape, the flared mouth and pedestal foot give it a classic urn line.

How to style it
A few ways to bring Fernande into the room.
Fill it with dried grasses or bunny tails for a soft, neutral mantel piece.
Add a few faux stems and stand it on a shelf or a bedside.
Leave it empty and let the bird on the rim be the detail.
Stylist's Tip
Keep the arrangement low and loose so the bird stays in view. A few dried stems leaning to one side suit it better than a tall, full bunch.
Care & Keeping
Wipe with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth and dry it straight after. Keep it indoors or in a covered spot, as the finish will weather if left out in the rain. For fresh flowers, use a liner so water does not sit against the metal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put fresh flowers in it?
It is a metal urn rather than a sealed glass vase, so for fresh flowers drop a small liner or test tube inside to hold the water. It is best suited to dried or faux stems.
Is the bird attached?
Yes, the little bird is part of the piece, cast onto the rim rather than a loose add-on.
How big is it?
About 22 cm tall and 15 cm across at its widest, so it sits easily on a mantel, shelf or bedside.
Can it go outside?
It suits indoor or covered spots. Left out in the weather the finish will age, so a sheltered position is best if you use it outdoors.
Will each one look the same?
Close to it. Each urn is hand-finished, so the gold tone and the aged wear vary a little from one to the next.
Because the Fernande urn is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture and tone 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.
