Willy Guhl Planters, Mid-Century Pair — One-Off

One pair, once — the exact planters photographed are the ones that arrive.A pair of mid-century cement garden planters of girdled ovoid form, the design attributed to Willy Guhl (Swiss, 1915–2004) — the pioneer of sculptural fibre-cement planting vessels whose pieces now sit in design collections and the best London gardens. One carries impressed numerals internally, consistent with period production.Decades outdoors have given them what no new pot can offer: a soft, weathered patina that reads as quiet authority in a doorway, on a terrace, or flanking a path. Girdled, generous and low — they take clipped evergreens, seasonal planting or a sculptural specimen beautifully.Height 33cm · diameter 40cm · sold as a matched pair.Sold as found, with the honest wear of their age — that is the point of them. One pair only; when they're gone, they're gone. Viewable at our Chelsea showroom.
