What are Versailles planters?
Versailles planters are square-shaped containers used as planters for ornamental trees and plants. Traditional designs feature ball finials and ring hardware on each corner and paneled stepped feet below. André Le Nôtre designed them in the 1600s for growing Louis XIV's orange topiary trees at Versailles. Find a collection of Versailles planters on 1stDibs.
