French Antique Limestone Trough

A French antique limestone trough of good size, 52 1/2 inches long, 33 inches wide and 21 1/4 inches high. Those proportions, wide for its length and deep enough for real root room, are typical of the farmyard troughs we find in France, cut from one block of limestone and left outside for a century or more. Expect a weathered surface, a rim softened by use and the small chips and stains that come with age; we will send close photographs so you can see exactly what this one carries.

At this width it will hold a small tree, a mixed planting of herbs, or water for a spout fountain in a courtyard. It would also sit well at the center of a motor court or a kitchen garden.

The limestone trough is in our yard in Marina Del Rey; come and see it, or ask for photographs and a delivered price.
