About the Item
Add a touch of rustic elegance to your home with this exceptional fontaine murale from Normandy, France, circa 1780. Mounted on its original carved fruitwood door, the piece features a beautifully patinated copper lavabo in two parts, a top reservoir with lid and brass spigot, and a removable demilune basin below for water collection. Originally used for ceremonial hand washing after mass and later adapted for domestic use, this charming provincial piece exemplifies the practical artistry of 18th-century France. The warm copper tones contrast gracefully with the rich walnut-hued fruitwood back, showcasing fine joinery and soft age wear. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this elegant lavabo de sacristie may be hung on a wall or displayed decoratively with dried flowers or greenery.

Located in Dallas, TX
19th century French brass wall fountain ~ Lavabo is a charming relic from a bygone era!
