DETAILS & SIZE
Two small birds in a chalky whitewash, one with its tail thrown out behind it, the other tucked down and content.
The Cameron set is two cast magnesia composite birds finished to look like aged stone. The surface is a chalky whitewashed cream worn back along the wing feathers, the tail and the beak, so a warm brown base reads through wherever the paint has rubbed away. One bird sits low and round with a short upswept tail and a smooth breast. The other has a broad fanned tail carried out behind it and deeply carved wing feathers running down its side.
They are small enough to tuck among books or along a windowsill, and they read best when the two are given a little distance rather than lined up together. The pair suits a French country shelf or a spring tablescape, and the two are sold together as a set of two.
Why we love it
◆Two different poses, one settled and round, one with the tail thrown out, so a shelf gets a sense of movement rather than a matching pair.
◆The worn finish, chalky cream rubbed back to a warm brown along the feather edges and the beak, which is where the aged stone look comes from.
◆The carving, each wing feather cut separately rather than smoothed over, which is what stops them reading as moulded resin.
◆A gentle set for French country and cottage interiors, and an easy gift for a bird lover or a new home.

How to style it
Birds read best in pairs and in good company.
Set both on a stack of old books beside a small vase.
Add them to the Lucas set if you want a small flock rather than a pair.
Sit one on a windowsill and one on the mantel so the pair carries across the room.
Pair with linen, lace and a toile cloth for a soft French country table.
Stylist's Tip
Keep the two at slightly different heights, one raised on a book or a box, so the pair looks gathered rather than lined up in a row. Turn them a little towards each other and they read as company.
Care & Keeping
Cast magnesia composite has a stone-like surface made for outdoor life. In the open garden the whitewashed finish will soften and weather over time, which adds to the aged look. Keep the birds out of standing water, apply a clear outdoor sealer once a year for the longest life, and lift rather than drag them across timber.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many birds do I get?
Two. One order is the set, one bird in each pose, and they are not sold separately.
How is this different from the Lucas set?
They are companion sets in the same finish, so the two look at home together. Cameron and Lucas each arrive as their own pair of poses. If you want more than two birds on a shelf, taking one of each set is the easiest way to do it.
Can they go outside?
Yes. They suit the open garden, a patio or a verandah as well as indoors. Outdoors the whitewashed finish will soften and weather over time, which adds to the aged look. Keep them out of standing water for the longest life.
What style do they suit?
French provincial, French country and cottage interiors, and anywhere with a soft, vintage feel.
Will the two birds look identical?
No. They are two different poses to begin with, and each one is hand-finished, so the whitewash and the distressing fall a little differently on every bird.
Do they make a good gift?
Yes. The set arrives as a natural pair and suits a bird lover, a French country home, or a housewarming.
Because the Cameron set is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain 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.

Pairs Beautifully With
Cameron French Provincial Bird Figurines, Set of 2, Whitewashed Aged StoneSale price$49.00
I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
Store owner replied:
Thank you, Debra. So happy Miss Angelique arrived just as beautiful as you hoped. Lucie
This mirror is beautiful, well worth the money spent. Now I have to add the matching floor mirror to my bedroom😅
The communication with Lucie was impeccable. So refreshing to get a prompt response to an email, thank you.
The only gripe I have is the cost of delivery but I managed to score a discount due to the warehouse move.
I have started a Christmas list of Chateau Living products for my hubby😊
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much, Sandra. So glad you love Serena, and that we could help quickly. Enjoy finding her a floor mirror friend. Lucie
I love everything I have ordered from you guys
The look really suits my decor
Store owner replied:
Corinne, a frog doing a handstand for the grandchildren to find is exactly the job we had in mind for him. Thank you for sharing the photo. Lucie
It’s beautiful
the only things I thought disappointing
Were .. it’s a bit smaller than indicated by 3 cms across the bowl
And it’s pretty much all grey not a rustic patchy colour
It’s still beautiful
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for the honest review and the photo, Lynne, and I'm so glad you still find her beautiful. The 30cm is measured across the dish including the little bird perched on the rim, so the bowl itself is a few centimetres smaller. We'll make that clearer on the listing. The grey version has a weathered stone finish, chalky on the raised edges and darker in the recesses, so it reads as mostly grey. If you ever fall for the patchier rustic look, the Willowmere also comes in a natural rust finish. Lucie
