Concrete and fibrestone garden planters

Concrete and fibrestone planters bring a structural permanence to outdoor spaces that lighter materials cannot achieve, and the best antique and vintage examples combine that weight with a visual character that only develops through decades of weathering and use.

This collection draws from two distinct traditions within 20th-century planter production. The mid-century Swiss designer Willy Guhl brought an industrial rigour to fibre cement, producing forms including the cylindrical fluted planter and the hourglass Diabolo that remain among the most architecturally resolved garden objects of their period. These pieces age particularly well outdoors, developing a surface patina entirely their own. The classical tradition runs alongside this in reconstituted stone and concrete, where Medici urns, faux bois cylindrical forms, and more regional decorative shapes reflect the long European appetite for garden ornament rooted in historical precedent. Figurative pieces in reconstituted stone, including rooster planters, introduce a more playful note without sacrificing the material weight that makes these objects work at scale.

These planters are suited to terraces, garden borders, and sheltered outdoor settings, where they work naturally alongside cast iron planters and antique garden furniture to create a layered and considered exterior.

Each piece is precisely measured, clearly documented, and professionally photographed, with condition and any surface weathering carefully noted. Stock availability is maintained in real time. All planters ship directly from France and are packed using methods developed for heavy and fragile outdoor objects.

These are planters chosen for their form as much as their function, and they earn their place in a garden over years rather than seasons.
