The Original Trinity™ Versailles Planter
The Original Trinity™ is Oxford Planters’ interpretation of the traditional Versailles planter, combining the architectural character of this historic design with the craftsmanship and practical requirements of contemporary garden planting.
Inspired by the classic caisses de Versailles, the Trinity features strong square proportions, vertical boarding, contrasting steel braces and distinctive hand-turned finials.
Each planter is individually handmade to order in our Cotswolds workshop, with careful attention given to its proportions, joinery and finish.
Designed to provide sufficient presence for substantial specimen planting, the Trinity works particularly well within formal gardens, terraces, courtyards and entrances, either individually or as a matching pair.
Traditional Joinery & Architectural Detail
The character of the Trinity comes from its combination of traditional joinery and distinctive architectural detailing.
Steel braces are powder coated in your chosen colour, while the hand-turned finials can be individually specified to complement the planter and its surroundings.
The result is a substantial Versailles-style planter with a strong architectural presence, designed to complement both traditional and contemporary garden settings.

Designed for Specimen Trees
The Trinity™ is particularly well suited to specimen trees and substantial planting.
Four removable panels allow established trees and plants to be positioned within the planter while also providing access to the root system for inspection and long-term maintenance.
Provision can also be made for concealed irrigation, with tubing incorporated discreetly within the planter.
These practical details allow the Trinity to provide the architectural appearance of a traditional Versailles planter while meeting the requirements of long-term outdoor planting.
Handmade to Order in Our Cotswolds Workshop
Every Trinity™ Versailles planter is individually handmade by skilled craftsmen in our Cotswolds workshop.
The construction, proportions and finish are carefully considered for each commission rather than being produced as a standard mass-manufactured garden container.
Popular dimensions provide a useful starting point, while alternative dimensions can be specified where the planting, location or surrounding architecture requires different proportions.
