Regis French Provincial Footed Urn Planter, Embossed Aged Metal

A footed urn in embossed metal, scroll handles and a filigree collar, worn to antique brass and soft verdigris.

Regis is a footed urn made from embossed aged metal, shaped like an old garden trophy urn with a pair of scroll handles. A band of pierced filigree rosettes runs around the collar, and the lower bowl is gadrooned into hammered lobes that catch the light. The finish is worn antique brass on the high points, with soft verdigris green settling into the recesses.

It works as a planter or a decorative urn. Sit a potted fern or trailing greenery inside for a classic conservatory look, fill it with dried stems, or leave it empty as a sculptural piece on a console or hall table. The wide bowl and pedestal foot give it presence without taking up much room.

Why we love it

• ◆ Trophy-urn shape, footed and handled, the kind of classical silhouette that anchors a console or an entry.
• ◆ Pierced filigree and gadrooned lobes, two layers of pattern that give it an old, hand-worked look.
• ◆ Antique brass and verdigris, hand-applied so the wear and colour sit differently on every piece.
• ◆ Planter or display, sized for a potted fern with a liner, dried stems, or nothing at all.

How to style it

Regis earns its keep planted or empty. A few ways to place it:

• Sit a potted fern or ivy inside on a liner and place it among your planters
• Group it with a garden piece or two on a covered porch
• Fill it with dried hydrangea or grasses for an indoor arrangement near your vases
• Leave it bare on a hall console as a classical urn

Care & Keeping

Dust with a soft dry cloth, working gently around the pierced band. This is a decorative aged-metal urn with no drainage hole, so for live plants sit a plastic liner pot inside rather than planting directly, and tip out any water that collects. Keep it indoors or under cover outside, the aged finish will weather and may spot if it sits in the rain.

Because Regis 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.
