Antique Belgian Bluestone Trough Sink

A reclaimed antique stone sink in Belgian bluestone with a broad, low basin and a stepped rim, a detail you do not see often on a trough sink. The stone is soft ash gray, with the weathered, open texture and small mineral variations of a basin that spent a long time in use before we found it. The step in the rim gives a plain rectangle a line of shadow all the way round.

It measures 33 inches wide, 23 1/2 inches deep and 5 1/2 inches high. It came from a Belgian house and keeps its wear: softened arrises, old marks, a patina that varies from face to face. Low basins like this set into a counter or rest on top of a slab, and the drain is fitted by your plumber.

It was a sink for a powder room, a garden room, or an outdoor kitchen, and it would also have made a quiet water basin under a wall spout. Reclaimed timber, limestone, brick, plaster and unlacquered metals all go with it. This bluestone sink has sold. We usually have similar trough sinks in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send photographs of what is current, with a price for a stone sink of this size.
