Antique Belgian Bluestone Trough Sink

A reclaimed antique stone sink in Belgian bluestone, a solid trough basin in rich blue-gray with a weathered surface, softened edges and the small mineral variations the stone is known for. Years of use shaped it: the rim has gone soft under hands, the inside has smoothed out, and the patina differs from one face to the next. It is a plain, honest basin and that is its appeal.

It measures 23 1/2 inches wide, 17 inches deep and 6 inches high, a mid-sized block that fits a standard vanity run. It came from a Belgian house and was sold as found. A low basin like this sets on top of a slab or into a counter, with the drain fitted by your plumber.

It suits a powder room, a guest bath, a kitchen prep station or a bar. Natural wood, limestone, plaster and unlacquered metals all sit comfortably with the gray. This bluestone sink has sold. We usually have similar troughs in the yard or on the water from Belgium; ask and we will send photographs and prices of what is current, and we can usually match a stone sink to the width you have in mind.
