Coralie French Provincial Urn Vase, Aged Gold Metal with Scroll Handles

A tall gold urn made for a generous armful of blooms.

Coralie is a footed urn vase in aged gold metal, 48.5 cm tall with a flared trumpet mouth and a pair of scroll handles. A small fleur-de-lis medallion sits on the front of the body, and the whole piece rises from a turned pedestal foot. The finish layers dark antiquing under warm gilt, so it reads old rather than shiny.

The height and the wide mouth suit a big, loose arrangement, peonies, roses, hydrangeas or branches, the sort of armful that looks sparse in a smaller vase. It stands on its own as a centrepiece on a dining table or console. The metal body is best with faux or dried stems, or fresh flowers in a liner, more on that below.

• ◆ Urn shape with handles, the trumpet mouth, scroll handles and pedestal foot give it a classical French look rather than a plain cylinder.
• ◆ Aged gold metal, the antiqued gilt warms a room and pairs with cream, sage, navy or natural timber.
• ◆ Faux, dried or fresh, fill it with lasting stems, or drop a liner inside for cut flowers and water.
