Two wire baskets hang from a slim antique gold frame, one set a little higher than the other, the way an old shop scale used to sit on a counter.
Bertrand is built like an old merchant's scale. A slim central post rises from a round weighted base, the metal moulded to look like segments of bamboo, and two arms reach out at different heights. From each one hangs a small basket on a hooked handle. The frame wears an antique gold finish with a darker aged patina worked into the diamond wire mesh, so it reads vintage rather than new.
It stands 56.5 cm tall with a 42 cm arm span, so it holds its own on a console or sideboard without taking over. Each basket lifts straight off its hook, so you can plant one up or swap the contents whenever the mood changes. Fill them with succulents, air plants, crystals, or small trinkets, or leave one empty and let the shape do the work.
Why we love it
◆Reads like a found antique, the balance-scale shape and faux-bamboo post give it an old-world look that suits French Provincial and cottage rooms.
◆Aged antique gold metal, with a darker patina caught in the wire mesh so it never looks freshly made.
◆Two removable baskets, set at staggered heights and easy to lift off for planting or restyling.
◆A quiet styling piece, equally at home holding succulents on a sideboard or trinkets on a dressing table.

How to style it
A few ways to put it to work:
Plant the baskets with trailing succulents and group it near other pieces from our planters.
Use it as a tabletop centrepiece beside a couple of vases and a few cut stems.
Set it on an entry table with a small dish for keys and a folded linen cloth underneath.
Stylist's Tip
Let the two baskets carry different weights. A potted succulent on one side, a single pale crystal or a small bundle of dried flowers on the other, so the scale looks gently tipped rather than even.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and lift the baskets off their hooks to reach the mesh. Keep Bertrand indoors or somewhere sheltered, since the antique gold finish is not made for steady weather. If you plant directly into a basket, sit a liner or a small pot inside so soil and water stay off the metal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it go outside?
It's best kept indoors or in a covered, dry spot like a sunroom or a sheltered porch. The antique gold finish is decorative and will weather if it sits out in the rain.
What style of room does it suit?
French Provincial, French country and cottage rooms most of all. The aged gold and balance-scale shape also sit well in vintage, eclectic and farmhouse spaces.
How big is it?
It stands 56.5 cm tall, about the height of a large table lamp, with arms spanning 42 cm and a depth of 14.5 cm. Each basket is roughly the size of a small cereal bowl.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Close, but not identical. Bertrand is hand-finished, so the patina and the gold tone vary a little from piece to piece. That variation is part of the look, not a fault.
Do the baskets come off?
Yes. Both baskets hang from open hooks and lift straight off, so you can plant them up or swap what's inside without any tools.
Because Bertrand is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture and tone 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.

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.
