About Heritage Lead Planters

We are an arts-based lead foundry specialising in the design and manufacture of solid lead planters, lead cisterns and lead window boxes. We carry out all of the foundry tasks in-house, from design and pattern making, to casting, fabrication and fettling. Although most of the ornamental leadwork is largely inspired by original eighteenth and nineteenth century patterns, there is a strong leaning towards the works of the Arts & Crafts Movement founded by William Morris. The core characteristics of the Arts and Crafts movement are a belief in craftsmanship which stresses the inherent beauty of the material, the importance of nature as inspiration, and the value of simplicity, utility, and beauty. As each lead planter is sand-cast in the traditional method, we believe that there is an appreciation of the lost crafts of the pre-Industrial age, where signs of handiwork, flaws and imperfections were welcomed as indicators of individualism. All lead planters and lead cisterns are made to order, so there will be a lead-time on most orders. If you can’t find the exact design, size or shape that you are after, we are more than happy to take commissions to create new designs to suit your needs.
