Found in an old workshop in Uzès, This tall Sculptors Pedestal once stood in a bustling ceramics workshop in the heart of Provence. The tabletop was used to form clay vessels, many of which would go on to grace homes across the region. The table’s sturdy frame and adjustable height bears the marks of years of artistry and creation, each dent and scratch telling the story of the objects it helped bring to life.

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.
