A trumpet-mouthed garden urn in chalky antique white, freckled with rust the way a real garden piece earns it over a few seasons.
Jerome is a tall pedestal urn in pressed metal, finished in a chalky antique-white coat that has been worn back and left with rust-toned freckling across the body. A band of applied swag and laurel relief runs below the flared rim, sitting over a gadrooned lower bowl and a turned stem on a scalloped domed foot.
At 58 cm tall it reads as a floor piece rather than a tabletop one. It suits an entry, a hearth, a covered verandah or a shaded garden corner, planted with a fern or left bare as a sculptural shape. Plants and arrangement shown are not included.
Why we love it
◆Medici urn silhouette, with a wide flared rim, applied swag relief and a gadrooned lower bowl that gives it a neoclassical garden look
◆Aged antique-white finish, hand-finished and rubbed back so the rust-toned freckling and chipping read as years outdoors rather than something new
◆Light to lift and move, so you can shift it between a doorway, a mantel or a garden bed as the seasons change, with a liner or potted plant dropped inside
◆Works on its own or in a pair, flanking a door or a path, or anchoring a French Provincial vignette indoors

How to style it
A few ways to put it to work, inside or out.
Drop a potted fern or trailing ivy into the bowl and stand it by a door, then build out the look with more planters
Set it among weathered timber and aged finishes from the garden and outdoor range for a courtyard tableau
Leave it empty on a hearth or console as a sculptural shape, no planting needed
Buy two and flank an entry or a path for a symmetrical, formal feel
Stylist's Tip
Sit a plastic nursery pot inside on a small saucer so the planting can be lifted out and watered at the sink, and the metal stays dry on the inside.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Use a liner or a dropped-in pot rather than planting directly, and tip out any water that collects so the inside stays dry. The aged white finish and rust freckling are part of the look and will keep settling if it lives outdoors, so keep it under cover if you want to slow that down.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it outside?
Yes, in a covered or sheltered spot such as a verandah or a shaded corner. It is pressed metal with an aged painted finish, so left in full weather it will keep rusting and wearing. Many people like that, but if you want to hold the finish where it is, keep it under cover.
Does it have a drainage hole?
No, it works as a cachepot. Drop a plastic nursery pot or a liner inside rather than planting straight into it, and empty any water that collects so the metal stays dry.
What style of decor does it suit?
French Provincial, French country, cottage and classic garden looks. The Medici urn shape and the aged white finish sit well with weathered timber, stone and other antique-toned pieces.
How big is it?
It stands 58 cm tall and about 43.5 cm across at the rim, so roughly knee height on most adults. It is a floor and entry piece rather than a tabletop one.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Close, with small differences. Each one is hand-finished, so the placement of the rust freckling and the worn-back paint varies a little from piece to piece. That is what gives each urn its own character.
Because Jerome 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.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
