Pair of Cheerful 1940s Painted Wooden Planters in Chartreuse and Red - 15¾"

A characterful pair of painted wooden planters from the 1940s, likely French, featuring a rectangular trough form raised on small block feet, each capped with pyramidal tops. Constructed from softwood boards, they retain layers of original paint in chartreuse color accented with brick red lattice and diamond motifs applied in relief. The surfaces are richly timeworn, showing weathered paint, scattered losses, age cracks, and interiors softened by years of use,; details that contribute to their authentic vintage character.

Style them on a console or windowsill with potted herbs set inside liners, or use them as centrepieces filled with moss, dried hydrangeas, or candles. They also repurpose beautifully as caddies for spices jars or art supplies. They bring warmth, texture, and a grounded country note to refined interiors, complementing both traditional and contemporary settings with a subtle pop of colour.

Condition and wear consistent with age and use.
