Reclaimed Limestone Fountain

A reclaimed stone fountain in limestone for a wall, with a backing of stacked limestone blocks and a heavy molded cornice that gives it a dignified vertical profile. The stone is light and sun-warmed: pale cream, sandy beige and soft gray, with a dry, chalky surface and open, pitted grain that softens in daylight. A square rosette in relief centers the design and frames the spout with a sharp floral geometry against the rougher blocks around it.

It measures 79 inches wide, 56 inches deep and 67 inches high; the basin is about 68 inches across and the coping about 15 inches high. The stone, spout and basin come together; the pump is by your installer, and the blocks set on a level base from a drawing.

This is a fountain to define a space: a pool terrace, a small courtyard, the far wall of a walled garden. When it runs, water falls from the rosette into the deep trough with a steady sound that gives the garden some privacy. This antique fountain has sold. We usually have similar stone fountains with a rectangular basin in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send what is current.
