A column with stories on every side, maidens in relief holding up whatever you love most.
Cadiz is a pedestal cast in magnesia composite, his bombe column carrying maiden relief panels on each face, robed figures framed in scrolls beneath garlands. The aged white finish is rubbed through in places to warm tones, giving him the look of garden statuary brought indoors.
At 99cm tall on scrolled feet he raises an urn, a lamp, or a trailing plant to where the room can see it, and holds a corner on presence alone.
Why we love it
◆The maidens, a different robed figure on each face, so he reads from every angle
◆The bombe curve, a waisted silhouette that swells and narrows like old salon furniture
◆The aged plaster look, cast magnesia composite rubbed through to warm tones
◆The scroll feet, four curled feet that lift the column and finish it properly

How to style it
Cadiz gives small things a stage.
Stand an urn from our vases collection on top with a full spill of stems
Give a trailing plant height in a corner the furniture cannot reach
Flank a doorway or fireplace with statuary from our sculptures collection
Let him hold a lamp beside a reading chair for light at exactly the right height
Stylist's TipOne object on top, never three; a pedestal is a frame, and whatever stands on him becomes the most important thing in the room.
Care & Keeping
Dust the relief with a soft dry brush and wipe the top with a dry cloth, using felt pads under anything that sits on him. Keep him indoors or under full cover so the aged white weathers gracefully.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is he made of?
Cadiz is cast magnesia composite, which takes fine relief detail and an aged plaster finish while staying practical to move.
What can stand on top?
Urns, planters, lamps, and sculptures all suit him. Use felt pads underneath, and a liner under any pot that gets watered.
Can he go outdoors?
He suits a covered porch or sheltered alcove, out of direct rain, so the aged white wears in rather than washing off.
How is delivery priced?
Cadiz travels as freight. Enter your postcode in the freight calculator on this page for a delivery price to your door before you order.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The aged white is rubbed through by hand, so where the warm tones surface across the relief varies from piece to piece, which is part of the intended character.
Because Cadiz 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.
