A striking pair of French ruffle-form concrete planters, attributed to Willy Guhl, circa 1960. These sculptural vessels embody the bold, organic language of mid-century European garden design, where utility meets art. The undulating, petal-like edges create a dramatic silhouette from every angle, while the original red finish adds a rare and highly sought-after layer of character. Designed to weather beautifully over time, these planters have developed a rich surface patina that speaks to decades of outdoor use. Iconic, architectural, and effortlessly cool.
Heavy weathering consistent with age and outdoor exposure. Surface wear, patina, and areas of discoloration throughout. Visible moss and organic growth present, particularly to interiors and creases. Minor edge wear and small losses along the rims. Structurally sound and stable, with no major cracks affecting integrity. Aged exactly how you’d want them.
Dimensions (each):
Diameter: 21”
Height: 10”
Base diameter: 7”
