A Box Planter is a decorative container designed for growing flowers, shrubs or small trees, while also serving as an architectural feature within a garden, courtyard or interior. Antique box planters were commonly crafted from lead, cast iron, terracotta, stone or timber and often featured classical mouldings, panelled sides or decorative motifs. Today they remain highly sought after for framing entrances, defining terraces and introducing structure to both traditional and contemporary gardens.
