Three Large Curved Segments from an 18th C French Granite Cider Mill

We found these three segments of an 18thC Cider Mill in Brittany and they are superb! Originally, there would have been 5 segments to form a continuous ring, but these three have had cast stone ends added to each segment to form large, enclosed planters. We think they would be amazing all together, potted up with a variety of tall annuals and trailing vines (to obscure the ends), and placed behind a curved bench. What a focal point in your garden! Alternatively, the segments could be flipped upside-down to form one or more curved benches, but please be aware that the bottoms are not smooth and are a bit bumpy. Lastly, what an above-ground rill these would make! Drain holes are not present, but should be drilled if you will use them as planters. We recommend installing them on concrete footings or compacted gravel to prevent sinkage over time, but no other care is needed. Granite is the hardest stone and can be left outside uncovered year-round in all climates. Although we would prefer to sell these as a group, we will consider splitting the set so just give us a call.
