Reclaimed Limestone Fountain

A reclaimed stone fountain in limestone with a wide octagonal basin and a central column that rises to a crisp pyramid peak. The basin gives the ground around it a clear structure, and the column makes a strong vertical line that carries the eye up. The limestone is pale cream, dusty beige and sun-washed gray, bright but earthy, with a matte natural surface marked by faint weathering and speckling that hold the shadows. The broad rim steps up from the ground and is wide enough to sit on.

It stands 61 inches high and measures 67 inches across. Two spouts feed the basin. The stone, column and spouts come together; the pump and plumbing are supplied by your installer, and the fountain sets on a level, prepared base with a forklift.

An antique fountain of this shape sits at the center of a driveway circle, on a garden axis or in a courtyard, where the two spouts give a steady rhythm of falling water that softens the noise beyond the wall. Gravel, box hedging or a plain plaster wall behind it all suit the pale stone. This stone fountain has sold. We usually have other octagonal limestone fountains in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send what is current.
