Standing on slender iron rod legs above an integral base, it retains traces of its original hand-painted decoration to the comb, beak, and eyes, while decades of outdoor exposure have mellowed the surface to a beautifully weathered stone-grey patina.\nRich in texture, the concrete displays scattered pitting, softened contours, areas of lichen-like discoloration, and minor chips that speak to years spent in the garden. Light oxidation to the iron supports further enhances its authentic, timeworn character. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDating from the mid-20th century, it is a delightful example of rustic garden ornament. The humble hen, long associated with the kitchen garden and rural life, was a popular decorative subject, often placed on garden steps, terraces, and courtyards to welcome visitors.\nEqually at home nestled among potted herbs, displayed on a garden table, or brought indoors to a kitchen shelf or conservatory, this characterful figure adds a touch of countryside charm and sculptural texture wherever it is placed. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 14¼\" high x 11\" long x 9\" wide  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 36cm high x 28cm long x 23cm wide \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53829609324882,"sku":"24850","price":762.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC07266_ccf1c769-77cb-4862-ac8b-3bd5becea572.jpg?v=1782371324","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/charming-mid-century-french-concrete-hen-garden-ornament-141-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
