Reclaimed Limestone Fountain with Antiqued Trough

A reclaimed limestone trough fountain in two parts: a long rectangular trough and a stepped wall backrest with a heavy pediment on top. The center panel of the backrest has botanical swags in relief on either side of a gooseneck spout. The trough below is a different animal, with deep vertical tooling marks and a dark weathered patina, antiqued to sit against the paler, smoother stone of the upper section. The contrast between the two is what makes the pair work.

The assembled piece measures 80 inches wide, 22 inches deep and 55 1/2 inches high. The backrest is 37 1/2 inches high and the trough 18 inches, with a trough interior about 73 1/2 inches long. The depth figure of 22 inches breaks down into steps of 10, 5 1/2 and 3 inches as the backrest recedes. It was sold as stone, spout and trough; pump by the installer.

A stone trough of this length wants a long wall: a courtyard boundary, the back of a pool terrace, or a conservatory where the trough can run parallel to the paving. This trough fountain has sold. We usually have similar troughs and wall pieces in the yard or on the water, so ask and we will send what is current with photographs and a quote.
