ab-1208

Crafted in the French faux bois tradition, this ornamental garden bird bath features a sculptural branch-form stem supporting a shallow basin. Unlike the earlier example, this piece stands upright, offering a more formal and balanced presence within the landscape.

Faux bois was developed by French rocailleurs in the late 19th century, using metal armatures and hand-applied mortar to imitate natural wood forms. The technique remained popular into the early 20th century and is valued for its craftsmanship and organic character. This example displays a naturally weathered surface consistent with age and outdoor use, making it a refined and authentic addition to a garden, courtyard, or conservatory setting.
