Reclaimed Limestone Fountain

A reclaimed stone fountain for a wall, built up from stacked limestone blocks to an arched crown with a shell in deep relief at the top. Below the shell a plain iron spout comes out of the center block, and the water has left a trail of rust and amber down the face to the rounded basin. The stone shifts between cool gray, warm oat and sand, with a weathered, open texture that holds the afternoon heat.

It measures 40 inches wide, 31 1/2 inches deep and 74 inches high. The basin has an interior depth of about 20 inches. The piece is sold as stone, spout and basin, with the pump and the line through the wall left to your installer. The rust staining under the spout is original and we would leave it; it tells you where the water has run for a long time.

This is an antique fountain for a private courtyard wall, the end of a dining terrace, or a gap in a tall hedge where the sound can carry to the house. It needs a wall or a footing behind it. A limestone fountain this size is a two-person set with a small machine. See the stone fountain in Marina Del Rey, or ask us for more photographs and a price delivered.
