Marble Sink

A white marble sink with a basin made of four flat planes that slope gently to a central drain, so the inside reads as a low inverted pyramid. The creases where the planes meet throw thin lines of shadow across the bowl, and the straight outer edge keeps the whole piece crisp. The marble is a soft milky white with faint gray clouding and tiny charcoal specks; the finish is matte and unpolished, and the rim is eased just enough to be kind to the hand.

It measures about 31 1/2 inches wide, 17 3/4 inches deep and 2 1/4 inches high, with a 3 inch drain opening. The low profile is the point: it sits on a counter like a tray and lets the vanity below carry the height. This is new stone, selected from a European workshop, and it arrives honed and ready to plumb.

It was made for a floating counter in a contemporary bath, a dark teak vanity where white stone against warm wood does the work, or a powder room with a charcoal plaster wall behind it. Unlacquered brass warms it; polished nickel keeps it cool. This marble sink has sold. We usually have similar low marble bathroom sinks in the yard or arriving; ask and we will send what is current.
