French Antique Stone Balls

Four French antique stone balls, shaped generations ago from aged stone, with rough, weathered surfaces in muted gray, tan and earth tones. Fine speckling, small pits and uneven marks cover each one. None is a true sphere; the profiles vary a little, and years outdoors have softened them and left darker and lighter patches across the stone.

We have not put individual dimensions on this page; the four differ a little in size, and we will measure the ones you want and send photographs of each. They are solid stone and heavy, and they stay put on a flat cap or in a bed of gravel; on a pier we would pin them.

Top the piers of a garden entrance, set a pair on a courtyard wall, run all four down the edge of a drive, or set one on the ground at the corner of a terrace. They sit well with reclaimed limestone, old brick, gravel and mature planting. Stone balls are the simplest ornament we sell and the one that dates a garden fastest. They are in our yard in Marina Del Rey; come and pick the ones you like, or ask us for measurements and a price for one, two or four.
