Antique Italian Stone Fountain

An antique Italian stone fountain basin that sweeps across the ground in one wide, continuous circle. Thick curved blocks are laid end to end to make a low ring, with visible joints between the sections. The stone is ash gray, soft beige and faded sand, with softened corners and small chips. The top edge and inner wall are cut smooth to give the water a clean line, while the outer face is left rough and grainy and carries dark, settled staining from a long life outdoors.

It stands about 9 3/4 inches high and measures 127 inches across the outside, with an inside diameter of 112 inches: a little over ten and a half feet. It is sold as the stone basin; the pump, plumbing and any central jet are supplied by your installer.

A low ring of this size defines the center of a courtyard while leaving sightlines open across the garden. It sits flat in a gravel court, at the crossing of paths in a formal garden, or in the middle of an open terrace. This antique fountain has sold. We usually have other Italian basins and stone fountains in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send what is current.
