French Antique Limestone Trough

French Antique Limestone Trough TR 7232 - FG101.OT is defined by its massive, cistern-like proportions. At 38 inches deep and 77 inches wide, it presents a vast surface area, creating a footprint nearly double the depth of a standard trough. The limestone is heavily encrusted with a complex patina of dove grey, chalky white, and vibrant rust-gold lichen that maps the stone’s history of exposure.

The exterior surface is granular and coarse, with a texture that feels like rough sandstone. The rim is thick and undulating, framing a deep, darkened interior basin that contrasts with the sun-bleached exterior walls. Standing 24 inches high, the trough rises well above the ground, possessing the physical bulk of a masonry wall.

Place this trough as a freestanding island in a large courtyard or driveway. Its exceptional depth allows for the planting of substantial shrubs or small trees. The multi-colored, weathered stone commands attention, anchoring the center of the space with immense physical volume and rich, living color.
