Pierced metal worked like lace, footed and handled, holding the light through its pattern.
Seychelle is a small footed cachepot in pierced metal, an urn-shaped body that flares to a rolled rim. The whole surface is worked in a fine filigree pattern, columns of pierced lacework with raised oval bosses between them, so light passes right through the wall. A ring handle sits on each side and three short feet lift it off the table.
The finish is an antique gold with an aged patina, a soft grey caught in the piercing and gold lifting on the raised detail. It has the look of something carried home from a market in the south, equally at home with a fern, with dried stems, or simply left empty as an object.
Because the metal is pierced through, it is not watertight, so it works best as a cachepot, with your plant kept in its own pot or a liner set inside. The fern, dried foliage, statue, and other pots in the photographs are styling and are not included.
Why we love it
◆Pierced filigree pattern, worked like lace so the wall catches and lets through the light.
◆Antique gold finish, aged and softly patinated rather than bright, so it reads as found.
◆Footed with ring handles, raised on three little feet and easy to lift and move.
◆A versatile size, just right for a fern, a trailing plant, or a handful of dried stems.

How to style it
A few ways to use it:
Drop a potted fern or trailing plant inside and let the foliage spill over the rim
Fill it with dried stems or grasses for a low-care arrangement on a shelf or sill
Use it on a dresser to hold odds and ends, or stand a candle inside for a soft pierced glow
Stylist's Tip
Sit a small tealight or a string of fairy lights inside after dark. The pierced pattern throws its lacework across the table, which is half the reason to own it.
Care & Keeping
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth, working gently around the pierced detail. Keep a liner or an inner pot between any soil or water and the metal, since the body is not watertight. Best kept indoors or somewhere covered so the aged finish holds, and dried straight away if it ever gets wet. The patina is part of the look and will soften over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plant straight into it?
It is best used as a cachepot. Because the metal is pierced, soil and water pass through, so keep your plant in its own pot or set a liner inside and lower that in.
Is it watertight?
No. The pierced pattern runs right through the wall, so it will not hold water. Use a waterproof liner or inner pot if you are planting something live.
What is it made of?
Metal, pierced and finished in an antique gold with an aged patina. It has a ring handle on each side and three small feet.
How big is it?
About 18 cm across and 17.5 cm tall, a small cachepot that suits a fern, a trailing plant, or dried stems.
Are the plants included?
No. The fern, dried foliage, and other pots shown are styling only. You receive the cachepot on its own.
Because Seychelle is finished by hand, the patina and tone vary a little from piece to piece, so no two are exactly alike. 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.
