This pair of mid-century French cast-stone planters, crafted in the 1950s–60s by Grandon Fres, features a striking hand-carved fan motif that sweeps around each vessel in rhythmic, sculptural arcs. The pattern gives the forms a sense of movement and artistry while maintaining the quiet, utilitarian soul of classic French garden design.
The bulbous silhouettes are beautifully balanced—rounded bodies that taper subtly at the foot, creating a grounded yet elegant profile. Decades of outdoor exposure have produced a soft, natural patina with mineral veining, lichen traces, and warm tonal variation, giving each planter its own depth and character.
