Description
Historic Norman Style Composite Stone Planters 27cm Dia.
Transform your patio or flower beds with this exceptional pair of Norman style planters. Artisans developed composite stone during the 18th century by blending crushed stone, sand, and durable cement binders. Today, high-quality cast stone remains a favourite material for detailed garden features. Moreover, it faithfully reproduces intricate carving work, resists harsh winter frosts, and develops a rich natural patina over time.
The intricate relief pattern on this pair of Norman style planters draws direct inspiration from 10th-century Norman hand carvings. Swirling vine leaves and orchard fruits connect stylised birds, including a detailed peacock, alongside horned oxen or goats.
Measuring 27 cm in diameter by 20 cm high, each planter weighs a substantial 15 kg for complete wind stability.
