The littlest of the flock, a handful of metal lace with one bird guarding the berries.
Zeno is a small pedestal bowl in pierced iron filigree, his bowl worked in an open damask pattern on a slender turned stem. The bronze style finish with verdigris patina shifts between copper and sea green, and a single cast bird perches at his rim, first in line for whatever he holds.
At 22.5cm tall he is the smallest of our three pedestal bowls, right for a bedside, a bathroom bench, or catching rings and keys by the door.
Why we love it

◆The patina, the bronze finish rubbed with verdigris green in every crevice
◆The bird, one small opportunist perched right at the rim
◆The giftable size, a piece of the chateau table that wraps up small

How to style it
Zeno slips in wherever a little ceremony is wanted.
Keep him by the door for rings, keys, and pocket things
Run all three sizes down a long table with candles between
Sit him among pieces from our home accents collection
Stylist's TipGive him one type of thing only, all berries, all soaps, all rings. Small bowls turn to clutter the moment they hold a mixture, and Zeno is too pretty for clutter.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth or brush through the filigree. Keep him dry, the patina is applied and sealed, and wet fruit or outdoor weather will move it along faster than intended. Line the bowl before loading anything that stains.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is he made of?
Zeno is iron throughout, the bowl pierced in a filigree pattern and the whole piece in a bronze style finish with a verdigris patina.
Is the green intentional?
Yes, the verdigris is applied by hand over the bronze finish so he arrives looking like he has stood in a French garden room for a century.
Can I serve food from him?
He is decorative rather than food safe. Whole fruit with skins is fine, but line the bowl first for anything you plan to eat, and keep him out of the dishwasher entirely.
Which sizes make the set?
Three, each listed separately. Santo stands 34.5cm with a pair of birds on the rim, Sandro 28.5cm, and Zeno 22.5cm, each with a single bird.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The patina is worked by hand, so where the green pools in the filigree varies from piece to piece, which is part of the intended character.
Because Zeno 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.
