Reclaimed Limestone Fountain

A reclaimed stone fountain in limestone with a tall, block-built backplate and a rough trough below. The backplate is made of thick rectangular blocks laid in visible horizontal courses and crowned by a molded capstone. Near the bottom the side blocks step outward to meet a massive, deeply rough-faced trough, and a thick stone spout extends straight out from the center of the wall. The limestone is chalk, ash gray and soft beige, with heavy dark weathering settled into the basin and spout from years of holding water.

It measures 55 1/2 inches wide, 31 inches deep and 57 1/2 inches high. The stone, spout and trough come together; the pump and plumbing are by your installer. The blocks separate for transport and are set on a level base from a drawing.

The height makes this a fountain to stand against a garden wall, inside an enclosed entry court or at the edge of a planted terrace, where it turns a flat boundary into a structural water feature. This antique fountain has sold. We usually have other stone fountains with a trough basin in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send what is current.
