FAQs

Faux bois, meaning fake wood in French, is a decorative technique that originated in the 19th century. Artisans sculpted concrete or cement over metal armatures to mimic the natural textures of tree bark, branches, and logs for garden furniture and planters.

Traditional faux bois items are typically crafted from reinforced concrete, cement mortar, or reconstituted stone over a metal framework. Some antique examples also utilise terracotta or zinc with hand-modelled surface detailing to simulate tree bark.

Authentic period faux bois pieces exhibit natural weathering, moss or lichen growth, and hand-tooled bark textures that reveal individual artisan craftsmanship. Weight, genuine patination, and material composition are key indicators of age.

These planters add organic texture and structural weight to garden patios, conservatories, or entranceways. Pair them with architectural plants such as ferns, topiary, or trailing ivies to highlight their naturalistic design.

Protect outdoor planters from extreme freeze-thaw cycles during winter by draining excess water or moving them under cover. Clean gently with a soft brush and water to avoid damaging the delicate surface texture and natural patina.
