A leaf pressed in antique gold, a small spray of flowers resting on its edge.
Alida is a shallow dish shaped like a single leaf, the inside pressed with veins that run out from a centre spine. The finish is antique gold worked over a darker base. A small flower and leaf sprig sits on one edge, raised a little above the rim, and the dish rests on a low foot.
It measures about 31 cm across and stands 7 cm tall on the foot. Drop in keys and rings by the door, hold a few pieces of fruit or odds and ends on a table, or leave it empty as a small object on a coffee table or console. It reads as a quiet sculptural piece either way.
Why we love it
◆Leaf form in antique gold, a sculptural French Provincial accent rather than a plain dish.
◆Pressed metal with a raised flower sprig, the veins run across the dish and a small bloom sits on the edge.
◆A footed catch-all, use it for keys and trinkets, fruit, or leave it empty as a display.
◆An easy gift, the antique gold sits with timber, cream and other gold pieces already in the room.

How to style it
A few ways to bring Alida into the room.
Leave it empty on a coffee table and let the leaf and the flower sprig be the object.
Use it as a catch-all on a console below a mirror.
Set a small candle in it from candle holders for a quiet vignette.
Stylist's Tip
Turn the flower sprig to the front. With the bloom facing the room and the dish left mostly empty, the leaf shape and the gold do the work on their own.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, around the flower sprig and into the veins. Keep it indoors and away from damp, as the painted finish is not made for weather. Avoid harsh cleaners, which can lift the gold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it outside?
It is made for indoor styling. The painted finish is not weatherproof, so keep it out of rain and damp.
What decor does it suit?
French Provincial, French country and cottage rooms. The antique gold sits well with timber, cream and other gold pieces.
How big is it?
About 31 cm across and 7 cm tall on the foot, so a touch wider than a dinner plate and low on a table.
Will it look exactly like the photos?
Close to it. As each piece is hand-finished, the gold and the patina vary a little from one to the next, so no two are quite identical.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes. It arrives ready to use with no assembly, and works as a catch-all or a small display piece for most rooms.
Because Alida is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture and grain are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

Absolutely love Colonel Barkley. The photos does not do him justice. He looks better in real life. He is definitely a talking piece in our garden. I cannot fault the communication around delivery as well. Highly recommend ❤️
This is Flossie. I ordered Flossie online and waited patiently for her arrival. I checked the mail regulary, eagerly awaiting her arrival. The day she arrived, i opeded the box and thrre she was. Absolutely perfect and GREAT QUALITY. Exactly like the photos. Flossie now resides in our garden, overseeing the plants and i just love the pop of fun she brings.
The young ladies, Ophelia and Angelique, have made themselves very much at home in a shady corner of my garden. Both so rustic and charming … I’m so pleased with these adorable little additions to my garden 😍😍

Have a frog lover in the family and fell in love with this little guy when I saw him - delivery was slow though so don’t think you’ve been scammed when it’s slow to arrive.

Will my piece look exactly like the photos?
