The smaller of the pair, a shallow scalloped feeding dish on a pedestal, two little birds keeping watch on the rim.
Gerard is the smaller of the pair, a pedestal bird feeder 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 seed and set it where you can watch it. The dish is shallow rather than deep, so it holds a little water for drinking and splashing as well, and indoors it works as a small decorative dish. The bowl lifts off its turned stem for easy cleaning and refilling.
Why we love it
- ◆ The smaller of the pair, a 27cm dish 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 seed feeder, as a shallow water dish, or as 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:
- Fill it with seed and set it in the garden where the birds feel safe; 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. Keep them a little above ground with a clear view around, and the birds come down faster.
Care & Keeping
Tip out old seed and wipe the dish between refills, or rinse it and dry it well if it has held water. 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 it before frost. Lift the dish off the stem to clean underneath.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put water in it instead of seed?
Yes, though it is a feeder first. The dish is shallow, so it holds enough water for drinking and a quick splash rather than a deep bath. Empty it before frost, and keep it under cover if you want to preserve the distressed white.
What seed suits it?
An open dish like this suits a general wild bird seed mix or sunflower seed. Put out a shallow layer rather than filling it to the rim, so the seed gets eaten before it spoils, and tip out anything left after wet weather.
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 dish 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.
