Odette French Provincial Swan Planter, Whitewashed Magnesia Garden Decor 43cm
30-day money back guarantee
A resting swan with wings softly furled, ready to cradle a cascade of garden blooms or a trailing fern.
Odette sits low and wide with her head tucked, her wings sculpted into a deep planting cavity that holds a generous arrangement. Cast in lightweight magnesia composite and finished by hand in a distressed whitewash with antique gold patina, every feather is shaped individually so no two pieces age the same way.
At 43.5 cm long and 34 cm tall, Odette has real presence on a console, hallway table, garden bench, or covered patio. She is named for the white swan of Swan Lake and pairs beautifully with her companion piece, Genevieve, for a styled set.

How to style it
Odette earns her place on tabletops, consoles, and sheltered garden ledges.
- Plant her with trailing ivy, jasmine, or string of pearls for a soft cascade across the wings
- Pair her with the companion Genevieve Swan Planter for a complete set, one resting and one upright
- Group with other garden and outdoor pieces for a French Provincial garden vignette
- Use her as a hallway console centrepiece filled with seasonal blooms or dried lavender
Stylist's Tip Slip a small plastic liner inside Odette before planting, so her aged patina stays soft and her interior keeps its whitewashed finish for years.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Magnesia is durable and frost-resistant, but extended exposure to direct rain will accelerate the patina, so a sheltered position is ideal for outdoor use. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Use a plastic insert if planting directly to protect the inner finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Odette live outdoors?
Yes, in a sheltered position such as a covered patio, verandah, or undercover garden ledge. Magnesia is frost-resistant and durable, but constant direct rain will speed up the patina. For full exposure, expect a softer, more aged finish over time, which many customers love.
Is she sold as a pair with Genevieve?
Odette and Genevieve are sold separately. They are designed as a styled pair, with Odette resting low and wide and Genevieve sitting tall and upright. Order both for a complete set, or start with one and add her companion later.
How big is she?
43.5 cm long, 34 cm tall, 21.5 cm wide. About the size of a small house cat curled up, with a planting cavity deep enough for a small potted plant or a generous floral arrangement.
Will every Odette look exactly the same?
Each piece is hand-finished, so slight variations in patina, distressing, and gold underglow are natural. These differences are part of the character and mean your Odette is genuinely one of a kind.
Does she come with a plant?
No, Odette ships as the planter only. Styling props in the photos including flowers, foliage, and the small succulent urn are not included.
Because Odette is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
