A pair of French vintage Faux Bois garden planters hand crafted of cement from France. This decorative and sculptural technique is modeled and textured to imitate wood with its knots and grain flow. The hand crafted hourglass shape garden pots are stunning and nicely installed in any traditional or minimalist setting.

Faux Bois refers to an artisanal imitation of wood and most likely first crafted by the French Rocailleurs (garden craftsmen) in the late 19th Century through the 1940s. The structures were created with chicken wire, metal rods, and other materials. Once shaped, a combination of mortar, concrete, and grout was applied onto the structure. While the mixture was still wet, the fine sculpting was artfully formed, and the imitation of the wood was achieved.
