A classical urn with the worn look of an old garden piece.
Julie is a classical Medici urn in magnesia composite, finished to look like a long-weathered garden urn. The fluted bowl flares to a beaded rim, with small rosette medallions set around a banded waist and a gadrooned lower body on a fluted foot. Soft rust tones run through the grey, the kind of patina an old urn picks up over years.
At 29.5 cm tall and light to lift, it sits on a console, a mantel, a step, or a pedestal and moves easily when you want to restyle. Plant it with a fern or trailing ivy, fill it with dried stems, or leave it empty as a sculptural object. Only four are in stock.

How to style it
A few ways to use it:
Plant it with a fern or trailing ivy and set it on a plinth, then browse the rest of our planters.
Leave it empty beside a mirror as a sculptural object in an entry.
Fill it with dried stems, or pair it with a candle holder on a mantel.
Stylist's Tip
Slip a plastic liner or inner pot inside rather than potting straight in. It keeps soil and moisture off the magnesia and lets you switch the planting with the seasons.
Care & Keeping
Julie is finished to look aged, so the rust tones and surface variation are part of the look. It suits indoors or the open garden, and outdoors the finish will soften and weather over time. Use an inner pot or liner for planting, keep it out of standing water, and a clear outdoor sealer once a year will help the finish last longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is it made from?
A magnesia composite finished to look like a weathered garden urn. It is light to lift rather than solid stone, which makes it easy to move and restyle.
Can I use it indoors and outdoors?
Both. It suits indoor styling, a covered spot or the open garden. Outdoors the finish will soften and weather over time, which adds to the aged look. Keep it out of standing water and waterlogged soil.
Are the rust tones a fault?
No, they are part of the finish. Julie is made to look like an aged urn, so the rust and grey tones are built in rather than signs of damage.
Can I plant straight into it?
We suggest a liner or inner pot so soil and water stay off the magnesia. It also makes the planting easy to change.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Each piece is finished by hand to look aged, so the grey and rust tones fall differently on every urn. No two match exactly.
Because Julie is hand-finished to an aged look, variations in tone, rust, and texture are natural and part of the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I was scared to open my parcel due to past experience with buying on line with less than perfect purchases.
This parcel, from the packaging to the presentation has been more than expected.
Thank you very much.

My recent purchases look amazing in my garden… my delivery arrived promptly and the communication from Chateau was explanatory as to where and what was happening. I liked the follow up emails … thanks
I am so glad I bought these beautiful Dragonflies! I only have a small front verandah, but I wanted to place them out here. Dragonflies, are my spirit animals.
I bought special hooks to place on the window so I could hang them. I placed them behind my buddha, and I feel they look very decorative and effective.
I lurve the Rocco French Provincial Lidded Canister. It's just gorgeous! My pics are not its final destination or styling. I added these very large hydrangeas so you can see how big it is and how much it can hold. The product is high quality and stands on its own regardless of how you choose to style it. I adore the antique gold finish and will be buying other products. Communication about my purchase and delivery was great, and all products were packed well. Thankfully, I'm in a 2-bedroom apartment; otherwise, I'd need a VIP card.
I love my new products and will be purchasing more. They are particularly nice next to my ginger jars, but I'm testing out places for them before I decide whether I will style them with or without a floral arrangement and where they'll be placed. This is a great quality product and the size I wanted (fairly large). The delivery was prompt; communication was great about what was happening and when, and the products arrived safely and without damage, as they were packaged appropriately. I was so happy, I wrote to the team straight away to say thanks.
I enjoyed reading the Chateau Styling Guide very much. I appreciate the collection of beautiful pieces Lucie has made available to her clients. And I agree with the idea that one should never ‘rush’ to complete a room or your home. It is so satisfying to finally find that one special piece you know will add to the look of your home. Thank you so much for this booklet. It will be a great resource to refer to.
