Antique Belgian Bluestone Sink

A wide, low antique stone sink in Belgian bluestone, the kind of broad basin that once served a whole household. The stone is deep smoky gray and goes almost black when wet, when pale veins and mineral lines come up across the surface. Deep vertical grooves run around the outside and give the block a heavily textured, weathered face. The inside is honed to a smooth matte finish, so the contrast between outside and inside is sharp.

It measures 42 inches wide, 22 1/2 inches deep and 4 1/4 inches high: a long, low-slung silhouette, low enough to set into a counter or rest on top of one. It was reclaimed from a Belgian house and keeps the marks of that life. Drain placement is by arrangement with your plumber.

At this width the bluestone sink works as a shared vanity in a primary bath, a kitchen prep sink, or a long basin in a flower room. Pale wood, warm metals and plaster let the dark stone do the talking. This stone sink has sold. We usually have similar long bluestone basins in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send photographs of what is current.
