Celeste French Provincial Fluted Column Pedestal, Weathered Aged Metal 71cm
30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
A fluted Roman column shrunk to plinth height, weathered to the grey-brown of old garden stone and ready to lift a vase or a trailing fern to eye level.
Celeste is the taller of a graduated pair, a 71cm column ribbed with fine vertical fluting and capped top and bottom with a moulded torus rim. It is made from aged metal under a weathered stone-look finish, dry-brushed grey over warm brown so it reads like a salvaged garden column rather than something new.
The 33cm top takes a planted urn or a lantern, and at 2.66kg it is far lighter than solid stone, so one person can move it between the courtyard and the hall. Stand it alone in a corner, or pair it with the shorter Mireille column for a stepped display.
Why we love it
- ◆ Architecture in miniature, the fluted Roman column reads as classical without taking over the room, and the worn finish keeps it grounded.
- ◆ Aged metal under a stone-look patina, dry-brushed grey on brown so each one carries its own pattern of wear.
- ◆ Lifts a display to eye level, a flat 33cm top for a planted urn or a sculpture, indoors or under cover outside.
- ◆ Buy one or build the pair, Celeste at 71cm steps up beside the 63.5cm Mireille for a graduated set.

How to style it
A few ways to use Celeste:
- Top it with a planted urn or pot from our planters.
- Stand a bust or figure from sculptures and statues at eye level.
- Move it out to a covered patio with the rest of the garden and outdoor pieces.
- Pair the two heights for a stepped display by an entry or fireplace.
Stylist's Tip Set the pair at a doorway with the taller Celeste behind, then top each with a different height of greenery. The staggered line draws the eye up and frames the entry.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe marks with a barely damp one. Keep it under cover outdoors, as the aged metal finish is not sealed for constant weather. Stand it on a level surface, and avoid very heavy or top-heavy pots on a tall column.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Celeste live outside?
Under cover, yes. It suits a verandah or covered patio. The aged metal finish is decorative rather than weather-sealed, so keep it out of direct rain to protect the patina.
What look does it suit?
French Provincial, French country, and cottage rooms, and it sits just as well in a Mediterranean or courtyard garden setting.
How tall is it?
71cm high with a 33cm round top, a little above coffee-table height, so a vase or plant on top lands close to eye level when you are seated nearby.
Do Celeste and Mireille come as a set?
They are sold individually. Celeste is the 71cm column and Mireille is the 63.5cm one, designed to step together if you want both.
Will mine match the photos exactly?
Each finish is applied by hand, so the grey-over-brown wear pattern varies a little from column to column. That variation is part of the salvaged-stone look.
Because Celeste is hand-finished, slight variations in the weathered patina, surface texture, and tone are natural and part of the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
