Manon French Provincial Pedestal Bird Feeder, Iron with Aged Stone Finish
A quiet little garden moment, captured in iron and weathered stone.
Manon is a small pedestal bird feeder shaped like a fluted dish on a turned baluster base, with two tiny sculpted birds perched on the rim. The aged stone-grey finish gives her the look of a piece that has lived through a few French country summers, softened by sun and rain on a courtyard table.
Place her on an outdoor table with a scatter of seed for the wrens and finches, or bring her indoors as a styled tabletop piece. Use her as a vessel for soaps in the bathroom, citrus on the kitchen bench, or potpourri on a console. The dish lifts off the pedestal for easy cleaning and packs flat for safe shipping.
Why we love it
- ◆ Two sculpted birds on the scalloped rim add genuine French Provincial charm

- ◆ Compact tabletop scale at 31 cm tall, works on garden tables, courtyards or indoor consoles
- ◆ Two-piece construction with lift-off dish for easy cleaning and refilling
- ◆ Multi-use, works as a bird feeder outside or a decorative dish indoors

Stylist's Tip
Manon looks her best when she has something to hold. A handful of millet for the birds, a few pebbles and a tea light, or a single fresh hydrangea bloom in shallow water. The fluted edge frames whatever you place inside her, so let the contents change with the season.
Care & Keeping
Wipe with a soft dry cloth to maintain her aged finish. If using outdoors, bring her under cover during heavy rain or storms to protect the iron from rust over time. The dish lifts off the pedestal for cleaning. A quick rinse and air dry is all she needs. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can strip the patina.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Manon outdoors permanently?
She is suitable for covered outdoor use such as verandahs, courtyards and pergolas. We recommend bringing her indoors during prolonged wet weather to protect the iron and preserve her finish.
What kind of birds will she attract?
Smaller songbirds love an open dish like this. Wrens, finches, sparrows and honeyeaters in particular. Use a mixed wild bird seed and place her in a quiet spot near shrubs or a tree for the best activity.
Are the birds attached to the dish?
Yes, the two small birds are sculpted directly onto the scalloped rim and are part of the dish itself. They are not removable.
How does she ship?
Manon ships flat-packed in two pieces, the dish and the pedestal, to keep her safe in transit. Assembly is simple, the dish sits straight onto the top of the pedestal. No tools needed.
Is the white bird in the photos included?
No, the larger white ceramic bird shown in some photos is a separate styling piece used to suggest scale and styling ideas. Only the pedestal dish with its two sculpted grey birds is included.
Each piece is hand-finished, so small variations in patina, tone and texture are part of her character. Colours may appear slightly different on screen.
