Antique Belgian Bluestone Trough Sink

A compact antique stone sink in Belgian bluestone, almost square, with softly rounded corners and a thick rim that has been finished smooth. The stone is a weathered gray with small mineral variations, and the shape has been eased by time in the way only hard use produces; the whole piece reads as one solid lump of stone rather than a made object.

It measures 17 3/4 inches wide, 16 1/4 inches deep and 8 1/2 inches high, which is small enough for a narrow vanity and deep enough to be useful. It was reclaimed from a house in Belgium and sold as found. The drain is fitted by your plumber.

It was a bluestone sink for a powder room, a prep kitchen, a bar or a utility room, somewhere the thick rim and the depth could be used rather than looked at. Natural wood, limestone, plaster and metal all suit it; keep the surroundings plain and the stone does the rest. This stone sink has sold. We usually have similar small basins in the yard or on the water from Belgium; ask and we will send photographs and measurements of what is current.
