A tall campana urn, the trumpet bowl rising from a ruff of acanthus leaves, weathered to grey and rust like an old garden piece.
Florent is a tall campana urn, a flared trumpet bowl that lifts from a ruff of acanthus leaves on a turned pedestal and scrolled foot. The rim is finished with a rope-twist edge, and the whole piece is weathered to a chalky grey-white with rust and ochre bleeding down the bowl, the look of an urn that has stood out in a garden for years.
It stands about 62.5 cm tall and 32.5 cm across, made from cast magnesia composite, a stone-like material with real presence at around 5 kg. It works on the floor by a doorway or fireplace, or on a wide console, filled with tall branches and dried stems, planted up with a pot inside, or left empty as a sculptural piece.

How to style it
A few ways to use it:
Fill it with tall bare branches or berried stems for height in a corner.
Stand it by a fireplace or doorway as a floor piece.
Drop a potted plant inside, in its own liner, for a planted urn.
Stylist's Tip
Go tall and bare with the stems. Branches that rise well above the rim play to the trumpet shape and let the weathered finish and acanthus base stay the focus.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry brush or cloth. The chalky finish, the worn patches and the rust bleed are part of the weathered look rather than faults. Keep Florent indoors or under cover, since open weather will move the finish faster. For a live plant, sit a potted plant in its own liner inside rather than planting straight in, and empty any water that gathers so it does not sit against the base.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is it?
About 62.5 cm tall and 32.5 cm across the bowl, weighing roughly 5 kg. A floor or wide-console piece rather than a tabletop urn.
What is it made of?
Cast magnesia composite, a stone-like material, hand-finished in a weathered grey-white with a rust and ochre wash.
Are the rust marks meant to be there?
Yes. The rust and ochre bleeding down the bowl is part of the weathered finish, applied to look like an old garden urn rather than damage.
Can I plant straight into it?
Better to sit a potted plant in its own liner inside. There is no drainage hole, so planting straight in and watering would leave water sitting against the base.
Will mine look like the photos?
Close, not identical. Florent is hand-finished, so the weathering, the rust bleed and the worn tones fall a little differently on each piece.
Because Florent is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture and tone 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.

Although there was a minor delay ( I gather a mixup with delivery) I am thrilled with the transformation the mirror had given my small balcony .
It has added a dimension and warmth to my small space.
I love my The Jardin Trio French Country Flower Wall Decor Set of 3, Embossed Metal. They are just perfect for the spot I wanted them for. They match perfectly and blend in with the Muriel wallpaper feature wall that complements the same tones and brings character to a space that was lacking a touch of “chic” so thank you Chateau living , you delivered on quality , price and service! Very happy, indeed!
Just another great buy! Very, very happy! They look so good in front of the church window and the cherub which I have also purchased from Chateau living.
Exactly what I was looking for! I felt something in that corner with the long, white sheer curtains was needed to complete it ans make it special! What a great buy! Its stunning! It's even more beautiful than how I pictured it.
Love it! Love it! Love it! I am so in love with the church mirror, the two crown candle holders and the little cherub! I had to wait a long time for the cherub though! He was sold out and I put in a pre order. The waiting time was sooo worth it. The cherub completes the white clean look that I have tried to achieve in my home office. The Church window has the same pattern as the electric heater which I have purchased somewhere else. Again once more, very happy with my purchases from Chateaux living!
I have seen this mirror already quite some time ago and could not get it out of my mind. I have finally ordered it! It's stunning! Its very unique and very special as it comes with a separate hook to put on the wall! Gorgeous! So beautiful!
I have actually just received my second one! I have loved my first one so much and I kept moving it from the living room to the guest bedroom, so I decided it's easier just to order a second one. I absolutely adore them! In both of them I have put a fairy light and some greenery which looks as if it flows out of the handbag.
I have bought many things recently from Chateau Living, as I want to stage my house. I love each and every item! Every piece is of high quality and of exquisite style. Each piece looks expensive although I find the pricing actually very affordable.
What I also love is how careful everything is packed. The Church window even arrived in a special made box! Very impressive!
The only negative side is: It is a bit addictive! I want everything in their store!
Thank you so much for your extremely prompt and safe delivery of my beautiful rabbit!! I fell in love with him as soon as I saw him and am not disappointed 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I fell in love with both items they are even better then i expected thank you so so much sorry but we dont do photos but they are perfect where they are
Great customer service, quick delivery and mirror was well packed. We like that the mirror is a bit different to others we have seen and it matches our decor perfectly. It finishes off our lounge area. Very happy with our purchase.
I like the look of this on my hall table I will love the look of this if I am able to buy your Clemenceau half moon console when it comes back into stock .
Every order is packed with care & insurance cover, but if anything arrives damaged, send us a photo as soon as possible and we'll arrange a replacement. No need to return the damaged piece.
Will my piece look exactly like the photos?
Very close, but expect small variations. Patina depth, paint distress, and metal aging will differ slightly from unit to unit.
