Description
Four hexagonal French planters with lichen patina, bridge the styles of classical and modern. Thick heavy concrete in line with the timeless tradition of monumental European garden art blended with a sleek modern approach to design with the six sided inverted pyramid. These planters from France circa 1950 are rare statements from a time undergoing a sea change. The sweeping French modern art movement was born and would dominate style for the next 20 years with simple symmetrical elegance, light weight, durable and malleable materials. Here are planters that when placed in context with other modern garden art look like a stoic grandparent. Made of thick concrete and containing a mixture of whites and greys, while the patina gives these planters a chic elegance that cannot be produced by any modern means. Each planter is 30.5 inches in diameter and one foot tall. As a pair or full set of four can they will enhance walkways, doorways or serve to balance an ambitious indoor or outdoor landscape.
