Marble Sink

A marble sink in a warm white and ivory stone, crossed by fine gray veins that move gently across the surface without ever taking it over. The form is a broad rectangle with softly eased edges and a smooth, honed finish, a quiet piece that lets the veining do the talking. The basin is generously sized and set into a deck with enough room around it for the ordinary life of a bathroom.

It measures 35 1/2 inches wide, 23 1/2 inches deep and 8 1/4 inches high overall, with a basin about 5 1/2 inches deep. This is new stone, selected from a European workshop; sealed, it is suited to daily use, and the honed surface shows marks less than polished marble would. It is a two-person lift onto a cabinet or console.

It suits a primary bath, a guest suite, a powder room or a dressing area, and it moves between a traditional house and a plainer modern one without changing its manners. Oak, aged brass, lime plaster or dark cabinetry all sit well against the ivory. The marble sink is in our yard in Marina Del Rey; we will send photographs of the veining and a delivered quote on this marble bathroom sink, or show it by appointment.
