French Antique Limestone Trough

A French antique limestone trough of generous size, with a broad basin, softened edges and the warm neutral color that French limestone takes on after a long life outdoors. The surface is naturally weathered, the rim worn rather than crisp, the faces marked with the variation of age. It is a working trough from a farm, not a garden piece, and that plainness is why it suits so many settings.

It measures 77 inches long, 38 inches deep and 24 inches high. The basin inside is 50 by 27 inches and about 17 inches deep, which leaves walls of a little over a foot at the ends and five and a half inches at the sides, so the piece is very heavy and arrives on a pallet to be set by machine. Condition is as found, weathered and sound in use. We can drill a drain before it ships.

A stone trough of this length anchors a courtyard, lines a terrace edge, or sits beside an outdoor kitchen as a planter or a deep ice trough. Plumbed, it becomes a wide fountain basin, or it works as an outdoor sink. It belongs with natural stone, reclaimed timber and Mediterranean or French-leaning architecture.
