French Antique Half Moon Limestone Trough

A French antique half-moon limestone trough with a flat back and a curved front, the shape that lets a stone basin press tight against a wall. The exterior is deeply weathered, with natural pitting, stone voids and a rugged texture, and its cool gray contrasts with the warmer taupe inside the basin. The rim is thick and gently worn.

It measures 36 inches wide, 23 inches deep and 19 inches high. A hole has already been drilled through for drainage or fountain overflow, so it can be planted or plumbed without further work. Condition as found, weathered and sound.

The half-moon form was made for a wall: beneath a spout as a courtyard fountain basin, against a brick facade as a planter, or at the foot of a garden stair as a decorative basin. This limestone trough has sold. We usually have similar half-moon and wall troughs in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send what is current.
