A tall goblet urn in dark lead grey, the kind of dramatic shape that turns a single fern into a centrepiece.
Patrick is a goblet urn planter, a tall amphora bowl with small scroll handles raised on a reeded stem. It is cast magnesia composite with a cabled rope-twist collar, acanthus detail below the handles, a beaded band and a leaf-tipped square plinth. The finish is a dark lead-grey, dusty and weathered, the soft charcoal of an old lead garden urn.
It stands 43 cm tall, taller and narrower than a classic Medici urn, so it draws the eye up. The bowl suits a single fern or a soft trailing plant, or it can stand empty as a sculptural piece. Set it on a console or table, or on the floor in a corner where its height can work. The fern shown is for styling and is not included.
Why we love it
◆Tall goblet-urn shape, the amphora bowl and scroll handles read as a dramatic French garden urn.

◆Drama from a single plant, drop a fern or trailing greenery in with a liner and the urn does the rest.
◆A moodier urn, the dark grey suits rich, layered interiors as much as a formal garden.

How to style it

Stand it with your other planters for a collected, layered group
Set a pair on a mantel or either side of a doorway for a formal note
Stylist's Tip
The dark grey reads almost like aged lead, so it grounds a busy, green corner. Keep planting simple, a single fern or trailing plant, and let the shape do the talking.
Care & Keeping
The cast magnesia finish suits indoors, a covered spot or the open garden, and the lead-grey will mellow further outside over time. Keep it out of waterlogged soil and standing water, and bring it under cover in frost. A clear outdoor sealer once a year will help the finish last longer. Use a liner or a separate pot when planting so moisture does not sit against the inside.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes, in the open garden, on a porch or on a patio. The magnesia composite is made for outdoor use, and the lead-grey finish will weather gently over time. Avoid waterlogging, and bring it under cover in frost.
Does it have a drainage hole?
It comes without a drainage hole, so it works best with a liner or a nursery pot dropped inside. A hole can be drilled if you want to plant directly, with gravel underneath for drainage.
What style of decor does it suit?
French Provincial, classical and formal garden looks. The dark lead-grey also suits moodier, layered and modern-rustic interiors.
How big is it?
It stands 43 cm tall and about 28 cm across the handles, taller and narrower than a wide Medici urn. It weighs around 2.7 kg, so it sits steadily on a table or floor.
Will every piece look the same?
Close, but not identical. The weathered finish is applied by hand, so the depth of grey and the dusting vary from piece to piece.
Because Patrick is hand-finished, slight variations in tone and the weathered grey 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 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.
