Antique Marble Sink

A compact antique marble sink with a flat back, a sweeping rounded front and thick walls. The marble is chalk white, soft ivory and light ash, with fine natural lines and faint warm variations through the stone. A heavy rolled edge frames the curve, and the outside is softly granular against a smooth interior whose sides slope down to the basin floor. The contrast between the two surfaces is most of what you see.

It measures 13 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 6 inches high, a hand basin for a small room. It is an antique sink reclaimed in Europe and sold as found; expect small chips at the rim and the weathering of its first life. Wall-mounted taps keep the bowl open; the drain is fitted by your plumber.

It makes a marble bathroom sink for a powder room, a guest bath, or a dressing room vanity. Lime plaster, aged oak, unlacquered brass and honed limestone sit well with the pale stone, and a dark counter under it makes the curve read. The marble sink is in Marina Del Rey; come and hold it, or ask for more photographs and a delivered price.
