Reclaimed Limestone Wall Fountain

A reclaimed limestone wall fountain with the presence of a building facade. A scroll-and-leaf crest sits on top; heavy rusticated blocks step out on either side to frame a recessed inner arch; at the center a lion mask feeds water into a deep ribbed basin. The outer frame is pale cream and dusty gray, the recessed back panel warmer, taupe and smoke. The surface is chalky and matte, mottled with mineral veins, and a darker patina has gathered in the folds of the crest and the grooves of the basin.

It measures 99 inches wide, 26 1/2 inches deep and 125 1/2 inches high, so a little over ten feet. The basin itself is about 40 inches wide and 12 1/2 inches deep. It is sold as stone, lion mask spout and basin, with the pump and supply by your installer. The wear shows as softened relief and water marks under the mask.

This stone wall fountain belongs on a courtyard wall seen from the house, at the end of a garden axis, or against a limewashed wall beside a pool. The basin rim is wide enough for pots. It ships in sections on pallets and sets with a small crane. It is in Marina Del Rey; see it there, or ask for more photographs and a delivered quote.
