Two little baskets with arched handles, the kind you would carry in from the garden.
Meline is a set of two handled baskets in distressed zinc metal, each a shallow round bowl set on three scrolled feet. A tall arched handle rises over the top, with scrolled ends, a coiled wire grip, and a whitewashed leaf trail running up each side. The finish is worn and grey, so the pair looks gathered from a French potting shed rather than new.
One basket is larger and one is smaller, so they sit together or apart. The succulents, soil, plants, urn, and flowers in the photographs are styling props and are not included.
Why we love it
◆A set of two, a larger and a smaller basket that work as a pair or split across two spots.
◆Arched leaf handle, scrolled ends and a whitewashed leaf trail with a coiled grip at the top.
◆Scrolled feet, three curled legs lift each bowl off the surface for a lighter, decorative look.
◆Useful and pretty, hold a potted plant, fruit, or odds and ends, indoors or in a sheltered spot.

How to style it
A few ways to put the pair to work:
Drop a small potted plant into each, using a liner or saucer, alongside more from our planters
Fill the larger one with fruit on a kitchen bench and keep the smaller for trinkets nearby
Use them on a shelf or sideboard with other pieces from our trays and bowls
Set one on a covered verandah with a herb pot for a potting-shed feel
Stylist's Tip
Sit the smaller basket just in front of the larger one and turn the handles slightly off square, so the pair reads as a little still life rather than a matched line-up.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. For live plants, sit a liner or inner pot inside rather than planting straight in, and empty out any water so it does not pool. Keep the pair indoors or in a sheltered spot to protect the distressed finish, and avoid harsh chemicals.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many baskets do I get?
Two. The set is a larger basket and a smaller basket. The plants and other items in the photos are styling only and are not included.
Can I plant straight into them?
It is best to sit a potted plant or a liner inside rather than planting directly, so soil and water stay contained. Tip out any water that collects.
Is it suitable for outdoors?
It suits indoor or sheltered use, such as a covered verandah. Keeping it out of rain and weather will protect the distressed finish.
How big are they?
The larger basket is about 23 cm across and 32 cm to the top of the handle. The smaller is about 19 cm across and 25 cm high. Both are tabletop size.
What style of decor does it suit?
French Provincial, French country, cottage, and farmhouse spaces. The distressed zinc and leaf handle suit a relaxed, collected look.
Because Meline is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and the distressing are natural and add to 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.
