French Antique 19th Century Limestone Wellhead

French Antique 19th Century Limestone Wellhead SKU: FK102-43.N is a massive, hollowed block of carved stone. The deeply weathered outer wall presents a coarse, highly pitted exterior. This substantial limestone piece features a continuous outer curve paired with a distinctly faceted, multi-sided inner open

A palette of cool concrete gray and chalky white dominates the main body of the stone. A vivid band of rust-orange mineral staining clings directly to the flat upper rim. The straight, angled interior faces drop straight down into the hollow core, contrasting with the continuous, unbroken outer wall.

Placed over a subterranean cistern, the carved rock functions exactly as a classic, traditional well head. Positioned at the center of a courtyard, the hollow stone serves seamlessly as a robust surround for a bubbling fountain. Outfitted with an arched iron spout, the heavy ring becomes a striking focal point for a formal garden water feature.

The coarse gray rock sits beautifully on a patio paved with reclaimed terracotta tiles. Setting the piece against a backdrop of lush green ivy emphasizes the bright orange staining along the top edge. Flanking the stone with weathered teak seating highlights the distinct, straight cuts of the inner rim.
