DETAILS & SIZE
A wire basket from a French garden wall, scrollwork above and chicken wire below, rust and all.
Carmen is a wall basket planter in aged metal, her half-round chicken wire basket crowned by a scrolled heart-shaped frame with pressed metal ornaments front and centre. The rust-toned finish is applied, the aged look without decades of waiting.
She sits flat to the wall and stands 52.5cm overall, the shorter of two sizes, with her taller sister Como at 57cm made to hang alongside.
Why we love it
◆The scrolled crown, a heart of curling wirework that makes the basket wall art in itself
◆Honest chicken wire, the classic French potting shed material done properly
◆Flat back, the half-round basket sits flush so nothing wobbles against the wall
◆One of two sizes, hang her beside the taller Como for the staggered pair

How to style it
Carmen turns a bare wall into a garden.
Hang her beside Como at staggered heights, as in our photographs
Fill with trailing ivy or a spilling pothos in its nursery pot
Use indoors as the greenest member of our wall decor range
Stylist's TipChoose one plant that trails and let it fall past the basket's base; greenery breaking the wire line is what turns hardware into a hanging garden.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft brush along the wirework. Keep plants in pots with saucers or liners inside the basket, and hang her under cover rather than in open rain.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does she hang?
From the loop at the top of the scrolled crown, on a screw or sturdy hook. She weighs under a kilogram empty, so allow for the pot you add.
Can I plant directly into the basket?
Sit plants inside in their nursery pots with a saucer or liner. The open wire is made to show a pot, not hold soil.
Is this the taller or shorter size?
Carmen is the shorter at 52.5cm overall. The taller Como stands 57cm, and each is sold individually.
Is the rust real or a finish?
The rust tones are an applied aged finish, deliberate and even, rather than active corrosion eating the wire.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The ageing is applied by hand, so the mottling varies a little across the wirework, which is part of the intended character.
Because Carmen 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.

Store owner replied:
Thank you, Debra. So happy Miss Angelique arrived just as beautiful as you hoped. Lucie
This mirror is beautiful, well worth the money spent. Now I have to add the matching floor mirror to my bedroom😅
The communication with Lucie was impeccable. So refreshing to get a prompt response to an email, thank you.
The only gripe I have is the cost of delivery but I managed to score a discount due to the warehouse move.
I have started a Christmas list of Chateau Living products for my hubby😊
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much, Sandra. So glad you love Serena, and that we could help quickly. Enjoy finding her a floor mirror friend. Lucie
I love everything I have ordered from you guys
The look really suits my decor
Store owner replied:
Corinne, a frog doing a handstand for the grandchildren to find is exactly the job we had in mind for him. Thank you for sharing the photo. Lucie
It’s beautiful
the only things I thought disappointing
Were .. it’s a bit smaller than indicated by 3 cms across the bowl
And it’s pretty much all grey not a rustic patchy colour
It’s still beautiful
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for the honest review and the photo, Lynne, and I'm so glad you still find her beautiful. The 30cm is measured across the dish including the little bird perched on the rim, so the bowl itself is a few centimetres smaller. We'll make that clearer on the listing. The grey version has a weathered stone finish, chalky on the raised edges and darker in the recesses, so it reads as mostly grey. If you ever fall for the patchier rustic look, the Willowmere also comes in a natural rust finish. Lucie
Store owner replied:
Congratulations on the newly styled lounge room, Kylie. Beatrice was made to be the centre of a room like that. Lucie
Unfortunately the first delivery was damaged in transit even though it was well packaged. Lucie was fantastic and quickly arranged a replacement which arrived in a few days. Thanks Lucie. It looks great in the garden and the grandkids love it. Great company to deal with. Thank you.
Store owner replied:
Thank you, Robert. I'm sorry the first one was damaged on the way to you, and really glad the replacement arrived quickly and safely. Enjoy Farmer Barnaby. Lucie
Perfect in my French kitchen. The mini carrot cake fit well.
Store owner replied:
Thank you, Emma-Jane. Small but mighty, that's Lorenzo. Lucie
Terra cotta and rust are integral to our garden so he fits right in along with all the other treasures that my great grandchildren have so much fun finding.
Store owner replied:
Edith, I love that your great grandchildren go treasure hunting in your garden. The Colonel will be honoured to be one of the finds. Lucie
