Limestone Sink

A limestone sink of modest size and plain form, cut from a block of pale stone in soft cream and beige. The basin is smooth, the rim is flat, and the surface shows the faint textural variation that comes with natural limestone: a fossil trace here, a shift in tone there. There is no ornament. The finish is honed and matte.

It measures 21 3/4 inches wide, 15 inches deep and 6 inches high. This is new stone, selected from a European workshop, and it is suited to a bathroom once sealed. The size keeps the weight within reach of a standard wall bracket or a narrow console.

It is the right scale for a powder room, a guest bath or a cloakroom, and it works just as well outdoors on a covered terrace as a rinsing basin. Natural wood, plaster, marble and brass all sit easily beside the cream. A stone sink this simple depends on the quality of the stone itself, which is why we chose this one. The limestone sink is in Marina Del Rey; come and see it, or we will send photographs and a delivered price.
