A garden urn in miniature, weathered to look like it has stood through a few seasons already.
Myriam is a footed urn planter shaped after the stone urns of old French gardens. The bowl is pressed metal with a fluted, ribbed body and a band of pierced openwork around the rim, raised on a turned pedestal foot. The finish is an aged stone-look in weathered grey and buff, mottled and rubbed back so it reads as old stone rather than new metal.
It measures 37.5 cm across the rim and stands 30 cm tall, a useful size for a single feature plant or a clipped topiary. Use it indoors as a cachepot, or set it on a covered porch or patio out of direct weather. The metal is light, so it moves easily when you want to restyle. Sold individually, so order two if you would like a matched pair.
Why we love it
◆Classic urn silhouette, the flared rim and pedestal foot give it the look of a formal garden piece at tabletop scale.
◆Aged stone-look finish over pressed metal, mottled grey and buff with a pierced band of openwork at the rim.
◆Light to move and restyle, drop a nursery pot straight in as a cachepot or plant it up with a liner.
◆At home inside or out, on a console, by an entry, or either side of a doorway as a pair.

How to style it
A few ways to use it:
Plant it with a clipped topiary or trailing ivy and stand it among your other planters
Use it as an indoor cachepot, dropping a nursery pot straight inside, near a garden and outdoor grouping
Pair two either side of a front door for a symmetric, formal entry
Fill it with pinecones or dried stems off-season so it earns its place year round
Stylist's Tip Raised on its foot, Myriam lifts a plant to eye level on a console or step. Group an odd number at different heights for the look of a collected garden display.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, or wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry it off. Keep it out of direct rain and standing water, since the metal can mark or rust over time if it stays wet. For planting, use a liner or a separate pot so soil and moisture do not sit against the inside.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes, in a sheltered spot like a covered porch or patio. Keep it out of direct rain and away from sprinklers, since the metal can mark or rust if it stays wet. It is happiest indoors or under cover.
Does it have a drainage hole?
No, it comes without a drainage hole, so it works best as a cachepot. Drop a nursery pot inside, or add a liner and a layer of gravel if you plant directly into it.
What style of decor does it suit?
French Provincial, country, cottage and formal garden looks. The urn shape and stone-look finish also sit well with Mediterranean and classic styling.
How big is it, and is it sold as a pair?
It measures 37.5 cm across the rim and stands 30 cm tall, about the size of a large mixing bowl on a foot. It is sold individually, so order two if you want a matched pair.
Will every piece look the same?
Close, but not identical. The stone-look finish is applied and rubbed back by hand, so the mottling and tone vary a little from piece to piece.
Because Myriam is hand-finished, slight variations in tone and texture are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I was scared to open my parcel due to past experience with buying on line with less than perfect purchases.
This parcel, from the packaging to the presentation has been more than expected.
Thank you very much.

My recent purchases look amazing in my garden… my delivery arrived promptly and the communication from Chateau was explanatory as to where and what was happening. I liked the follow up emails … thanks
I am so glad I bought these beautiful Dragonflies! I only have a small front verandah, but I wanted to place them out here. Dragonflies, are my spirit animals.
I bought special hooks to place on the window so I could hang them. I placed them behind my buddha, and I feel they look very decorative and effective.
I lurve the Rocco French Provincial Lidded Canister. It's just gorgeous! My pics are not its final destination or styling. I added these very large hydrangeas so you can see how big it is and how much it can hold. The product is high quality and stands on its own regardless of how you choose to style it. I adore the antique gold finish and will be buying other products. Communication about my purchase and delivery was great, and all products were packed well. Thankfully, I'm in a 2-bedroom apartment; otherwise, I'd need a VIP card.
I love my new products and will be purchasing more. They are particularly nice next to my ginger jars, but I'm testing out places for them before I decide whether I will style them with or without a floral arrangement and where they'll be placed. This is a great quality product and the size I wanted (fairly large). The delivery was prompt; communication was great about what was happening and when, and the products arrived safely and without damage, as they were packaged appropriately. I was so happy, I wrote to the team straight away to say thanks.
I enjoyed reading the Chateau Styling Guide very much. I appreciate the collection of beautiful pieces Lucie has made available to her clients. And I agree with the idea that one should never ‘rush’ to complete a room or your home. It is so satisfying to finally find that one special piece you know will add to the look of your home. Thank you so much for this booklet. It will be a great resource to refer to.
