Antique Marble Sink

A broad antique marble sink with floral detailing in relief across the front and inlaid details in muted green and ochre, set into soft white and pale gray marble. The inlay has aged with the stone and gives the surface a quiet, varied color. The wide deck around the basin leaves room for soap and a jug, and the whole piece reads as a slab with a bowl in it rather than a bowl on its own.

It measures 47 inches wide, 23 1/2 inches deep and 8 inches high, with an interior basin of about 21 by 17 1/2 inches. It was reclaimed in Europe and sold as found, with the small chips and the patina of its first life. The drain is fitted by your plumber and wall-mounted taps keep the deck open.

It was an antique sink for a large bathroom, a formal powder room, or a custom vanity in a house with other reclaimed materials. The relief and inlay sit as well in a traditional room as against plain plaster. This marble sink has sold. We usually have similar decorated marble basins in the yard or on the water from Italy; ask us and we will send photographs and prices of what is current.
