French Antique Limestone Linear Garden Trough

A French antique limestone trough, deep and heavy-walled, with a recessed inner chamber and a plain rectangular profile. The color is a variegated mix of warm wheat and sun-bleached cream with deep charcoal and moss tones in the shaded faces, and generations outdoors have softened the blocky edges and left a rugged, tactile skin etched with old tool scars and surface pitting.

It measures 49 inches wide, 31 1/2 inches deep and 29 1/2 inches high. At nearly thirty inches tall it stands higher than most troughs of its length, which gives the basin unusual depth for roots or for water. It was heavy and shipped on a pallet. Condition was as found: weathered, pitted, sound.

A trough of this depth suits a terrace as a planter for a small tree, a poolside border as a planted block, or a courtyard as the basin for a recirculating fountain with the pump hidden inside. This limestone trough has sold. We usually have similar deep stone troughs in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send photographs of what is current.
