Cisterns

Lead cisterns were made in large quantities during the 17th and 18th centuries, many of which are still in place today. During this time they were mainly used to store rainwater however nowadays most cisterns we sell are used as planters or are adapted for use as fountain pools.

The traditional patterning taken from the time is the geometric strap-work design, which is classed as a true classic English lead planter pattern. We also welcome ideas through our bespoke service, where we can also incorporate special dates or logos as desired.
