Welcome to the Heritage Lead Planters website
Celebrating traditional craftsmanship & timeless design.
At Heritage Lead Planters, we take immense pride in our reputation for the design and production of exquisite solid lead planters, cisterns, water features and window boxes. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in‑house. From the initial sketch to the final polish, every stage of production is guided by master artisans who uphold centuries‑old traditions in the craft.
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.
Each lead planter is handmade by the sculptor that designed the pattern, and cast using either the lost wax method, or traditionally cast in oiled sand. Therefore, 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. We do not make reproductions of existing pieces, all of our leadwork is new work designed by ourselves.
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.
If you wish to buy any of our work, please get in touch either by phone or email to discuss lead times and other options.
Thank you for visiting our website.
