Gray Limestone Sink

A gray limestone sink with a clean rectangular profile, cut from a single block of pale gray stone. Look closely and the surface shows small fossil markings and soft variation in tone, the kind of detail that keeps a plain form from reading as cast concrete. The finish is honed and matte, the edges are crisp, and the basin is a simple rectangle set into a wide rim.

It measures 23 inches wide, 16 1/4 inches deep and 4 1/4 inches high overall; the basin inside is about 18 3/4 by 12 1/4 inches and 3 inches deep. This is new stone, selected from a European workshop whose gray limestone we have used before. Limestone of this kind is dense enough for daily use in a bathroom and takes a sealer well.

It is the right size for a powder room, a guest bath or a small hotel room where a stone sink needs to sit on a floating slab or a narrow console. Natural wood, marble, concrete and dark metal all work alongside the gray. This limestone sink has sold, but the same workshop produces this format regularly and we usually have similar basins in stock; ask and we will send what is current.
