The Story
Faux bois (French for "false wood") was an artisanal technique developed in mid-1800s France, using sculpted mortar over metal frames to mimic wood. This charming decor style was used to create romantic, naturalistic garden elements such as benches, railings, and planters.
If you walk through the rose trellis in The Huntington’s Rose Garden, from the Rose Garden Tea Room and down to the Japanese Garden, you will see a stunning example of faux bois, which was installed by Henry Huntington, intertwined with rose vines and cascading Wisteria.
