The bronze planters are by the artist, IBU (deceased).

IBU sand cast bronze planters, custom bronze trays included, signed, numbered

Karl Lagerfeld used them in the Chanel apt in Paris, there are photos online often of those shoots. Christian Liaigre, Alex Vervoordt, and Peter Marino used her work in interiors.

Ibu was married to Master Baker Lionel Poil?ne of French bread fame (you often see as an option on French menus.) They FedEx it around the world daily. Sadly the couple died in a helicopter accident years ago going to their island off Brittany. The children retain the company, with cafe on the Left Bank and Antwerp.

The artist is very well known among a select group and is highly desired for those who know of her. Her work is in many private collections around the world and there only a limited number made, it is very unusual to have the trays along with the planters.
