Keble No. 2 Classic
The Keble No. 2 Classic is a luxury tapered wooden planter, distinguished by its elegant arched detailing and beautifully balanced proportions. Its quiet architectural presence allows it to sit naturally within both traditional and contemporary landscapes.
At Oxford Planters, we believe simple forms demand precision. Every curve, joint and proportion reflects the principles of fine cabinet making and architectural joinery.
Our architectural joiners handcraft each Keble No. 2 Classic to order in our Cotswolds workshop and make it to your exact dimensions. We carefully select hardwoods and specialist timbers such as oak, iroko and Accoya® for their character, stability and ability to endure.
Oak and iroko can weather naturally, developing a refined silver patina. Alternatively, Accoya® provides an exceptionally stable foundation for a professionally applied finish in your chosen colour.
We design the Keble No. 2 Classic for direct planting, without the need for a secondary liner. Its construction accommodates timber movement, soil pressure and root growth, helping it remain structurally sound as the planting matures.
A Luxury Wooden Planter Made for Those Who Notice
The Keble may appear effortless, but its simplicity leaves nowhere for poor proportion or imprecise craftsmanship to hide. Those who understand good design recognise the difference in the details.
For those looking for a luxury wooden planter made with the precision of fine architectural joinery, the Keble No. 2 Classic offers a considered alternative to mass-produced designs.
We consider every Keble No. 2 Classic individually and make it to become a lasting part of its setting.

Designed for Contemporary Gardens & Architecture
The clean geometry of the Keble No.2 Classic makes it particularly suited to contemporary gardens and architectural settings.
Its tapered profile provides visual interest without excessive ornament, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside modern glazing, rendered façades and contemporary landscape materials.
At the same time, the warmth and character of natural timber allow the design to work successfully alongside stone, brick and more traditional properties.
Used individually, as matching pairs or repeated within a larger scheme, the Keble No.2 Classic can frame entrances, define terraces and introduce structured planting into architectural landscapes.
Your gallery has several excellent images to accompany this section — particularly the dark planters beside the contemporary glazed building.
Made to Your Required Dimensions
The Keble No.2 Classic™ can be adapted to suit the proportions of its setting while retaining the character of the original design.
Alternative heights, widths and proportions can be considered for individual planters, matching pairs or coordinated collections.
Where you have a particular location or planting scheme in mind, our team can advise on dimensions that balance the planter, planting and surrounding architecture.
This gives the new coloured panel a commercial purpose, rather than using it merely for decoration.
