Antique Limestone Sink

A small antique limestone sink shaped for a corner, with a clean form and a weathered face in warm cream and beige. The stone has the soft, aged surface of a basin that was used for a long time before we found it, with slight variations in texture and tone across the block and edges that have been eased by hands. It is a plain piece, and the proportions are what make it.

It measures 26 inches wide across the back, 13 inches deep and 5 inches high; the bowl inside is about 13 3/4 inches wide and 11 to 10 inches deep, tapering with the corner. It was reclaimed in Europe and sold as found. A low basin like this rests on a slab or sets into a counter, with the drain fitted by your plumber.

It is a stone sink for a powder room with no room for a straight vanity, a guest bath, or a small kitchen corner, and it sits well with wood, lime plaster, aged brass and other stone. This limestone sink has sold. We usually have similar small limestone basins in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send photographs and measurements of what is current.
