Antique Marble Sink

An antique marble sink with a round basin and a softly scalloped rim, the outer edge shaped in broad curves like the lip of a shell. The marble is milky white shading to soft gray, with loose veining that wanders across the surface in irregular lines. Two small cups are cut into the back of the slab, original to the piece, for soap and a brush, which keeps the counter around it clear.

It measures 27 1/2 inches wide, 17 5/8 inches deep and 6 inches high, a generous bowl on a practical footprint. It is an antique sink reclaimed in Europe and sold as found, with the small chips and the soft wear of a long first life. The drain is fitted by your plumber.

It makes a marble bathroom sink for a powder room, a dressing room, or a guest bath, set on an old chest, antique cabinetry or a slab of aged oak. Warm plaster, dark walnut and unlacquered brass all suit the pale stone. This marble sink is in our yard in Marina Del Rey; come and see the scalloped rim in the light, or ask us for more photographs and a quote.
