Choosing antiques for the garden

From front gates to walled courtyards—consider adding antiques pots, urns, finials and statues to your garden.

This garden gate is made all the more beautiful with a large pair of cast iron Medici urns planted with iceberg roses.

A pair of antique wrought iron gates instantly adds charm and definition to this Provençal garden entrance. Topped with weathered stone finials, the gateposts echo the timeless style of the home beyond. It’s a beautiful example of how architectural antiques can create a sense of arrival while blending seamlessly into a relaxed outdoor setting.

Stone or cast iron Medici urns on pedestals are a timeless addition to garden paths, offering structure and elegance while blending naturally into the landscape. Whether left empty or planted seasonally, they help anchor the space and create a sense of rhythm as you move through the garden.

A weathered rooster statue and a garden urn bring a touch of whimsy and patina to the garden. Paired with fresh tulips and vintage seating, they create a charming vignette that celebrates character and contrast—where aged textures meet seasonal simplicity.

A vintage urn set beneath a pergola becomes a quiet focal point among rambling vines and seasonal blooms. Garden sculptures like this add depth and character, drawing the eye and enhancing the layered beauty of more natural planting schemes.

A classical garden sculpture anchors this lavender-lined garden, framed by vintage seating for quiet moments beneath the sun. A timeless blend of structure and scent.

Anduze urns are quintessentially French, and no matter how large the urn, they will always add a touch of elegance to your outdoor space. This pale version brings a softer look to the scene, planted here with citrus and framed by a border of seasonal blooms.

Whether glazed in rich green, yellow, or left neutral, Anduze urns bring timeless structure to outdoor spaces.

Biot jars (on the right) are more like a piece of sculpture when left un-planted. This way they can be displayed both inside or in the garden as they can be moved easily.
