About the Item

This exquisite Louis XV lavabo fountain was crafted in Lyon, France, circa 1780. The elegant handwashing fountain, known as a lavabo, features its original pewter reservoir fitted with twin bronze spigots and a shaped basin below. The sculpted pewter tank is gracefully fluted and scalloped, resting atop an intricately carved walnut back panel adorned with acanthus leaves, volutes, and a large central shell motif typical of the Rococo style. The matching table stand is richly detailed with shell and floral carvings across the scalloped apron, supported by slender cabriole legs ending in hoof feet. The entire piece displays a warm walnut patina and fine craftsmanship, highlighting the refinement of 18th-century Lyonnaise decorative arts. Originally used for handwashing in dining rooms or bedrooms, this rare and authentic lavabo would now serve beautifully as a decorative statement or as a unique planter in an entryway or breakfast room. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Measures: 23" W x 17" D x 77" H.
