Marble Stone Sink

A scalloped marble sink whose front apron is shaped into flowing curves, like fabric gathered along the edge, so a heavy block of stone ends up looking almost soft. The marble is warm ivory and pale butter with touches of cool ash; gray movement and small mineral blooms run through it. A long, deep basin follows the length of the piece, and a round soap dish is cut into the deck beside it.

It measures 47 inches wide, 20 inches deep and 8 1/2 inches high. This is new stone, selected from a European workshop where the apron and the soap dish are shaped. Honed and sealed, it suits daily use. At nearly four feet it is a two-person piece to set, and it wants a custom vanity or an open frame that lets the apron show.

It belongs in a primary bath, a powder room with some ambition, or a covered outdoor bathing space in a warm climate. Aged brass, bronze, dark walnut or soft oak all answer the warm tones in the stone. The marble sink is in Marina Del Rey; come and see the apron in person, or ask for photographs of this marble bathroom sink and a delivered quote.
