French Antique Limestone Bollards

Four French antique stone bollards in limestone, upright blocks with a plain vertical silhouette, of the kind that kept carts off a corner or marked the edge of a yard. Each is a single piece of stone, roughly square in section and a little under four feet tall. They are sold as a set or singly.

They are close but not identical. The widths run from 18 1/2 to 22 1/2 inches, the depths from 21 to 22 inches, and the heights from 47 to 48 inches; one is 18 1/2 by 21 by 47 inches, another 22 by 22 by 47, and the other two sit between. The variation is what you want in a row of antique bollards; new ones match and look it. Each is heavy and should be set on a footing or sunk into gravel.

Line a drive with them, close the end of a pedestrian path to cars, stand them at the corners of a motor court, or use one alone as a plain marker where a lawn meets a terrace. Stone bollards of this age also carry a lantern well. They are in our yard in Marina Del Rey; come and see the four, or ask us for photographs and a price for the set.
