Gerard French Provincial Bird Bath, Small Distressed White Pedestal with Perched Birds
30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
The smaller of the pair, a shallow scalloped dish on a pedestal, two little birds keeping watch on the rim.
Gerard is the smaller of the pair, a pedestal bird bath cast in slim aged metal with a distressed white finish softened at the edges. The shallow bowl has a fine scale texture, and two little birds perch on the rim as part of the casting.
Fill it with water as a bird bath, with seed as a feeder, or use it as a small decorative dish indoors. The bowl lifts off its turned stem for easy cleaning and refilling.
Why we love it
- ◆ The smaller of the pair, a 27cm bowl on a turned pedestal that tucks into tighter spots.
- ◆ Distressed white aged metal, a soft, worn finish for French country gardens and cottage interiors.
- ◆ Three ways to use it, as a bird bath, a seed feeder, or a decorative pedestal dish indoors.
- ◆ Perched bird detail, two little birds on the rim, the kind of detail that makes it feel collected.

How to style it
A few ways to place it:
- Set it in the garden with water or seed to bring birds in; see more in the garden and outdoor collection.
- Pair Gerard with the larger Thibault at 30cm for a stepped duo, sold separately.
- Bring it indoors as a small dish for trinkets, jewellery, or a single pillar candle.
- Style it on an outdoor table with roses or lavender for a soft, faded-garden look.
Stylist's Tip Two of these at different heights, or Gerard beside the taller Thibault, make a pretty stepped pair on a garden wall or table.
Care & Keeping
Wipe with a soft dry cloth, or rinse the bowl and dry it well if used outdoors. The aged metal will weather and deepen over time outside, which suits the look; if you would rather keep the distressed white crisp, keep it under cover and empty any water before frost. Lift the bowl off the stem to clean underneath.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it outside as a bird bath?
Yes. Fill it with water for a bath or seed for a feeder. The aged metal will weather over time outdoors, which adds to the look; empty any water before frost, and keep it under cover if you want to preserve the distressed white.
What style of space does it suit?
French provincial, country, and cottage spaces most of all, indoors or in the garden. The distressed white and perched birds also suit coastal and shabby-chic settings.
How big is it?
The bowl is about 27 cm across and it stands 20 cm tall. It is the smaller of the pair, with the larger Thibault at 30 cm across.
Will each one look exactly the same?
Because Gerard is hand-finished, the distressed white varies a little from piece to piece. Small differences in the worn paint are part of the character and not a fault.
Does it come as a pair?
Each one is sold individually. For a graduated set, pair Gerard with the larger Thibault at 30 cm across, also sold separately, or group two for a fuller garden vignette.
Because Gerard is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and paint 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.
