About the Item

This antique-style terracotta faux bois planter is a striking sculptural piece designed to mimic the natural form of a hollowed tree trunk. Crafted in terracotta and finished in warm earthy tones, the planter features deeply textured bark detailing and multiple organic openings throughout the body, enhancing its realistic, hand-formed appearance. The faux bois (false wood) style was especially popular in late 19th and early 20th century garden and architectural décor, prized for blending naturalistic design with durable materials. The cylindrical form tapers subtly and includes several cut-out cavities, which may serve both decorative and functional purposes, allowing for creative planting, drainage, or display. The interior shows visible age-related wear, surface patina, and firing variations consistent with terracotta. Fine surface cracks and texture irregularities are present and contribute to the character and authenticity of the piece rather than detracting from it. This planter works beautifully as a standalone garden accent, patio feature, or interior decorative vessel. Its sculptural quality makes it suitable for rustic, Mediterranean, traditional garden, or naturalist interiors. A distinctive piece that adds organic warmth and visual interest wherever it is displayed. Measurements: 38” H x 23” W x 23” L ***Please Note: This item is oversized*** If in the Los Angeles, CA area in-store pick up option is available If outside Los Angeles, CA area this item will need a blanket wrap transport.
