An Ionic column capital set against the wall as a ledge, its twin scrolls and fluted base finished in a chalky distressed white.
Aline takes the crown of a classical column, the twin volutes, the central palmette, the fluted shaft below, and casts it in magnesia composite with a flat back that sits flush to the wall. The finish is a distressed whitewash, rubbed back at the high points so a warm clay tone reads through the scrolls and along the fluting.
At 39.5cm wide and 31cm tall, the flat top works as a small ledge for a candle or a framed photo. Set a pair either side of a doorway, or rest a single one on a console where it leans against the wall.
Why we love it
◆Classical form, cottage finish, the Ionic capital is a recognisable architectural shape, and the worn whitewash keeps it relaxed rather than formal.
◆Cast magnesia composite, the distressed paint is rubbed back by hand so the clay body breaks through the raised detail.
◆Doubles as a ledge, the flat top holds a candle or a small vase, and the flat back sits close to the wall.
◆An easy first piece, a low-commitment way to bring a French Provincial note to an entry or hallway.

How to style it
A few ways to put Aline to work:
Top it with a pillar candle or a cluster of tealights from our candle holders.
Group two along a hallway as repeating brackets at the same height.
Set framed botanicals or other wall decor just above it.
Stylist's Tip
Hang a pair at the same height either side of a window and give them matching candles. The symmetry reads as architecture, and the worn paint stops it looking too precious.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Magnesia composite can chip if knocked, so handle it by the base when moving it and keep it out of direct rain. Wipe any marks with a barely damp cloth and dry straight after.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Aline go outside?
It is made for indoor rooms or a covered, sheltered spot. The distressed paint is not sealed for weather, so keep it out of direct rain and away from sprinklers.
What style of decor does it suit?
French Provincial, French country, and cottage interiors most of all. The classical column shape also sits well in traditional and Hamptons rooms.
How big is it?
39.5cm wide, 31cm tall, and 19cm deep, about a plate and a half across. Measurements are approximate, as each piece is cast and finished by hand.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Close, but not identical. The whitewash is distressed by hand, so the amount of clay tone showing through the scrolls and fluting varies a little from piece to piece.
Does it mount to the wall or stand on a surface?
The flat back lets it sit flush against a wall, and it can also rest on a console or mantel. If you want it wall-mounted, use a bracket or fixing suited to your wall and the 4.5kg weight.
Because Aline is hand-finished, slight variations in the distressed paint, 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.

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.
