A long leaf-shaped dish in antique gold, shaped like a single fallen leaf.
Desiree is a decorative dish in antique gold metal, cast in the shape of a long leaf. A raised rib runs down the centre with veins branching off to each side, the surface is finely dotted, and the edges are cut into soft points like a real leaf. There is a short stem at one end, and the centre dips into a shallow tray.
It is about 53 cm long, so it works as a centrepiece down the middle of a table or along a console. Use it to hold a few pieces of fruit, some baubles, or simply on its own as a sculptural piece. The aged gold has a soft, mottled finish that catches the light. The candle, book, fruit and other props in the photos are styling and are not included.

How to style it
A few ways to bring Desiree into the room.
Run it down the centre of a dining table as a long, low centrepiece.
Fill it with seasonal fruit, baubles or pinecones for a table or console.
Use it as a catch-all on an entry table for keys and small things.
Stylist's Tip
Sit a pillar candle on a small glass or metal plate before you place it in the dish. It keeps wax off the gold and lets you change the look with the seasons.
Care & Keeping
Wipe with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth and dry it straight after. Keep it indoors and out of standing water, as moisture can mark the finish over time. It is a decorative dish, so use it for dry items or set a liner or plate under anything damp, oily or likely to drip.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is it?
About 53 cm long and 17.7 cm at its widest, with a shallow centre around 3 cm deep. It is a long, low piece made to stretch across a table or console.
Can I serve food on it?
It is a decorative dish rather than tableware. For whole fruit or wrapped items it is fine, but for anything damp, oily or loose, set a plate or liner in it first.
What should I put in it?
Seasonal fruit, baubles, pinecones or potpourri all suit it, or use it as a catch-all for keys and small things by the door. It also looks complete left empty.
Are the props included?
No. The candle, book, fruit and other pieces in the photos are there for styling and scale. You receive the leaf dish only.
Will each one look the same?
Close to it. Each dish is hand-finished, so the antique gold and the mottled areas vary a little from one to the next.
Because the Desiree leaf dish is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture and tone 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.
