Antique Marble Sink

A long, low antique marble sink with a rough exterior and a smooth, pale interior. The outer face runs all the way round the low rectangular block, heavily textured and uneven, and frames a quiet chalk-white and soft cream marble with faint gray veining. The inner walls drop straight to a flat floor with an off-center drain hole. The low cut shows the whole face of the slab and all its tonal shifts.

It measures 30 inches wide, 15 inches deep and 3 3/4 inches high. At that height it sets onto a vanity top with the rim just proud of the surface. It was reclaimed in Europe and sold as found, with the natural wear across the slab. The existing drain hole takes a standard waste.

It is an antique sink for a powder room or a guest bath on a custom vanity, where the rough edge against pale marble does the work. Plaster walls, white oak and dark bronze hardware suit it. This marble sink has sold. We usually have similar low marble basins in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send photographs of what is current.
