Limestone Inlaid Sink

A freestanding limestone sink with a wide half-round basin and a band of stone inlay set into the deck. The limestone is warm, moving between honey and cream, with a surface that has been left slightly open and uneven rather than polished to glass. The inlay is a decorative accent of contrasting stone laid flush into the top, and the whole piece stands on its own base, so it arrives as a complete washstand rather than a bowl in search of a cabinet.

It measures 42 inches wide, 20 1/4 inches deep and 35 1/2 inches high to the deck, which is standard vanity height. This is new stone, selected from a European workshop; the inlay is cut and set there, and the basin is honed smooth. The piece is heavy and ships crated, and it should stand on a solid floor.

It suits a guest bath or a garden room where a stone sink can stand alone against a plaster wall with a single spout above it, and it would hold its own in a wine cellar or a tasting room. Pale oak, lime plaster and aged brass keep the palette warm. The limestone sink is on view in Marina Del Rey; ask for photographs of the inlay up close and we will quote it delivered.
