Antique French Limestone Trough

Striking golden-yellow and rust-orange tones dominate the presence of Antique French Limestone Trough SKU: TR 7230 - FG101.OE. These vivid colors come from a thick band of lichen that wraps heavily around the lower half of the rectangular block, sharply contrasting with the pale bone and dark grey weathering along the upper walls. The rough, uneven top rim features a distinct vertical fissure cut into one face, opening into a deep interior entirely washed in bright, sun-baked earth tones.

Catching the steady runoff from a copper rain chain, the elongated basin easily manages high volumes of descending water. Acting as the central feature of a paved stone courtyard, the heavy structure operates beautifully as a still, linear reflecting pool. Anchored beneath a traditional masonry wall, the long interior reliably catches the continuous flow from a series of embedded brass spouts.

The intensely colored stone provides a strong material contrast when positioned against flat, dark slate panels. Resting the rectangular block on smooth white gravel immediately highlights the vibrant golden-orange lichen wrapping its base. Flanking the trough with tall, dark green bamboo emphasizes the bright, warm earth tones radiating from the inner basin.
