Gloria French Provincial Pedestal Urn Planter, Fleur de Lis and Scroll Handles 83cm

A grand old goblet for the garden, raised on her pedestal like something rescued from a château courtyard.

Gloria is a pedestal urn planter in iron, her deep cup carrying a raised fleur de lis crest on the front and a pair of slender scroll handles at her sides. She stands on a turned baluster pedestal with a wide round foot, and every surface wears the same mottled, aged finish.

At 83cm tall she lifts a fern or trailing plant to where it can be admired, flanking a doorway, marking the corner of a verandah, or standing alone as the grande dame of a garden room.

Why we love it

• ◆The crest, a raised fleur de lis motif worn back into the aged surface
• ◆The scroll handles, curled iron at each side that gives her a trophy silhouette
• ◆The pedestal, a turned baluster stem that lifts the planting into the light
• ◆The mottled finish, speckled browns and greys that read like years of weather

How to style it

Gloria was born to hold something green and generous.

• Sit a potted fern inside and let the fronds spill past her handles
• Flank a doorway with her and her smaller sister Ronda for a matched welcome
• Browse the rest of our pots and planters collection
• Pair her with pieces from our home accents collection

Care & Keeping

Dust with a soft dry brush and keep her under cover if she lives outdoors. Use an inner pot rather than planting directly, and lift her by the cup and pedestal together rather than by the handles alone.

Because Gloria 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.
