Faux Bois, French for “false wood,” is a decorative art that flourished in France in the late 19th century. Traditionally handcrafted by rocailleurs, cement was sculpted over metal armatures to imitate the organic forms and textures of natural wood, creating distinctive garden furniture, planters, bridges, and architectural elements.
