If there is one thing about Sylvie, she loves an animal motif. This weathered and worn stone pot, thought to be a garden pot dating back to the early 20th century has faint traces of a ram's head. Sylvie loves placing it on her coffee table, filled with greenery or a simple pillar candle.

We discovered this cast stone pot in Uzès, showing faint traces of a ram’s head motif—a reminder of its grand past in a European garden. Once set atop a stone pedestal and filled with lush greenery, it would have beautifully framed its sculpted details. Now softened by time, the pot holds a quiet elegance that hints at its former majesty.

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.
