These Faux Bois planters capture the classic French tradition of sculpting cement to resemble natural wood. Each piece shows beautifully rendered bark texture, subtle knots, and organic irregularities, giving the vessels a warm, tactile presence.
Raised on three sculpted legs, the forms feel both sturdy and animated. Their weathered gray finish and understated silhouettes make them adaptable to a wide range of interiors and garden settings—sculptural on their own or perfect for planting.
As a matched pair, they offer a rare opportunity to acquire two artisan-made examples in complementary scale and condition. Pieces like this have become increasingly desirable among collectors of European garden ceramics.
