Notes from Sylvie:

My dear, these are well worn and covered with patina and spots of lichen or moss.

This cast stone pedestal, with its classic design, once supported a grand statue in the gardens of a French château. Over the years, it was repurposed as a decorative element in various landscapes, adding height and structure to floral displays. The pedestal stands as a testament to the elegance of the estate, where every detail was carefully considered.

Uzès, a hidden gem in the south of France is where this story begins. Situated between Provence and the Languedoc, this medieval town is known for its winding cobblestone streets, grand Renaissance architecture, and the striking Duchy of Uzès. With roots tracing back to Roman times, Uzès has been shaped by diverse cultural influences, from ancient aqueducts to aristocratic estates.

Surrounded by sprawling vineyards, ancient olive groves, and the peaceful countryside of Occitanie, Uzès is just as serene as it sounds. It is here where Sylvie put on her comfortable shoes and got lost wandering these ancient streets and its nearby villages.

Sylvie explored age-worn courtyards, connected with local antique dealers, and sifted through forgotten spaces to curate a selection that brings to life Uzès’ storied past.
