Orangerie Deux

The original orange planter boxes were invented during the 17th century by La Quintinie and André Le Nôtre, the landscaper of the palace Versailles. The Orangerie of Versailles was an extension of the Palace built not only to protect the citrus in the winter, but also to impress her visitors. It contains many of the citrus boxes that are a hallmark of French garden design. Throughout Europe and the world, these simple but elegant boxes with their ball finials epitomize classic design, and have stood the test of time. The Deux planter is the perfect piece for that odd wall or space that needs that special layering. She can be used as a screen with beautiful buxus, or topiary type planting, or in front of a long wall that just looks empty.
