Antique Belgian Bluestone Sink

An antique stone sink in Belgian bluestone with a softened, rounded profile, closer to a small trough than to a square basin. The bowl is deep and holds a lot. The color is smoky graphite, deep steel blue and matte charcoal. Inside, the surface carries scratches, pitting and the smooth hollows of long use; the thick rounded rim has been worn soft by hands, while the outside keeps a rougher, more irregular face.

It measures 23 1/2 inches wide, 17 1/2 inches deep and 10 inches high. It was reclaimed from a house in Belgium and sold as found, wear included. The drain is fitted by your plumber.

The depth makes this a bluestone sink for a potting area, where it swallows soil and tools, or an indoor wash station with a farmhouse feel. The rounded edges make it kind in a family bathroom or a wet bar. Rough timber or limestone walls suit the texture; unlacquered brass brings out the warmth in the gray, and matte black plumbing pulls it toward the modern. This stone sink has sold. We usually have similar deep basins in the yard or on the water; ask us and we will send photographs and prices of what is current.
