Marble Sink

A marble sink cut as one wide slab, with a low basin set into a flat deck and a front edge that bows out into a broad scallop at the center. Incised lines and small circular motifs run across the top surface, and the stone is a creamy light ivory with faint beige shading, worn gently enough to feel lived in rather than new. The bowl is cut straight into the slab, so the counter runs uninterrupted around it.

It measures 47 1/2 inches wide, 23 inches deep and 6 inches high. The basin is low and smoothly sloped, a rinsing basin rather than a deep bowl, with generous surface on either side for the things a bathroom collects. It is heavy; plan on an open console frame or a custom base that leaves the scalloped front clear.

It suits a primary bath or a guest suite where one wide piece of pale stone can replace a conventional vanity top and bowl. Lime plaster, dark stained wood and aged brass sit comfortably with the ivory. This marble sink has sold. We usually have similar slab basins and marble bathroom sinks in the yard or on the water; ask us and we will send what is current.
