Gray Limestone Sink

A gray limestone sink in a restrained rectangular form: a single block of soft gray stone with a basin cut into its center and a flat rim around it. The color is a quiet gray, with faint fossil traces and mineral movement across the surface that give it some life under the light. The finish is matte and the lines are straight, so the stone itself does the talking.

Overall it measures 23 inches wide, 16 1/4 inches deep and 4 1/4 inches high, with a basin of about 18 3/4 by 12 1/4 inches and 3 inches deep. It is new stone, selected from a European workshop; a limestone of this density is suited to bathroom use once sealed, and the compact size keeps the weight manageable for a wall-hung installation.

In a powder room on a floating oak or walnut slab it reads as calm and solid. It also suits a guest bath or a hotel vanity where a stone sink is wanted without the irregularity of an antique one. Lime plaster, aged metal and pale wood sit comfortably beside the gray. This limestone sink has sold. We usually have similar basins in the yard or arriving; ask and we will send what is current.
