Apollon French Provincial Horse Head Bust, Distressed White Sculpture on Pedestal Base 37cm





Reserve yours before we sell out again!
A taller, wider pedestal cast in magnesia and topped with solid fir wood, sized for a layered cake, a styled cheese board or a candlelit centrepiece.
Léon is the larger French Provincial cake stand in the same family as Lawrence. A solid fir wood serving disc sits on a sculpted magnesia pedestal, hand-finished in antique white with scrollwork running around the base and chippy paint at the corners where the cast has been worn back to read as genuinely aged.
At 27 cm across and 19.5 cm tall, Léon holds a layered cake, a generous cheese course, a tall cluster of pillar candles or a sculptural floral arrangement with room to spare. He stands 6.5 cm taller than Lawrence and 3 cm wider, which is the difference between a single-tier birthday cake and a styled wedding-cake moment. Paired with Lawrence on a dessert table, the two heights make a complete display without needing a third piece.
Léon and Lawrence TogetherLéon is the larger of two cake stands in the same family. The smaller Lawrence cake stand (24 cm across, 13 cm tall) is sold separately. Used together at staggered heights they make a complete two-tier dessert display. All cakes, candles, blossoms, books and styling props shown in the photographs are not included.

Léon is a workhorse pedestal that earns its place beyond the dessert table.
Stylist's Tip Always slip a doily, baking paper round, or cake board between the fir top and anything wet or greasy. The wood is sealed but oils, butter creams, and acidic fruit juices will stain over time.
Wipe both the wood top and magnesia pedestal with a soft dry cloth, or a barely damp cloth followed by an immediate dry. Do not immerse in water and not dishwasher safe, as moisture will swell the fir grain and lift the antique white finish on the base. Use a doily or cake board between Léon and any moist food. Store indoors away from direct sunlight and heat.
Same family, two sizes. Léon is 27 cm across and 19.5 cm tall. Lawrence is 24 cm across and 13 cm tall. Both share the magnesia pedestal, antique white finish and solid fir wood top, so they pair beautifully at staggered heights on a dessert table. Léon is the better choice for a two-tier cake or a substantial cheese course, Lawrence for a single-layer cake or a small candle vignette.
The fir top is sealed and safe for general cake, fruit and cheese display when used with a doily, cake board or baking paper underneath. We recommend a barrier for anything moist, oily, or acidic to keep the grain looking new.
The disc is 27 cm across, so an 8 to 10 inch (20 to 25 cm) round cake sits comfortably with a frame of bare wood showing around the edge. A 12 inch cake will overhang slightly. Léon is the right size for a two-tier wedding cake, a styled christening cake, or a generous birthday cake without the wood disappearing under the icing.
Léon is designed for indoor use. He can sit on a covered outdoor table for a short event in fine weather, but bring him inside before dew, rain, or strong heat. The fir wood will warp and the antique white finish will lift if left out.
Léon is hand-finished, so subtle variations in the antique white patina, the scroll detail and the natural fir grain are part of the character. No two pieces are identical.
Because Léon is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, scroll detail, and fir wood 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.
