Rare French Provincial Louis XV Copper Church Lavabo
Located in Forney, TX
A wonderful and rare, almost 200 year old antique French Provincial Lavabo (water fountain) with beautifully aged patina. Handcrafted in Louis XV taste, dating to around the second quarter of the 19th century, having a hand carved oak stand with outstanding scrollwork, foliate and shell motif carvings, mounted to the tall shaped wooden backboard is a stunning heavily patinated copper Lavabo, all hand hammered copper, there's a water resevior tank, surmounted by the removeable lid with bronze finial, below a spigot controls the flow of water out of the reservoir and into the sink basin, which can also be used to fill the tank. The sink basin (bowl) rests atop the cabinet tabletop, over a single drawer with hand carved dovetail joinery, all rising on elegant cabriole legs. This Lavabo is in excellent shape, fully operable and ready for use or display. We love the warm, rustic vibe from all the character and patina, so we have not heavily cleaned or restored it. Circa 1830s-1840s, France, Provinces. Dimensions (approx): 65.25" H, 21.25" W, 16.25" D A Lavabo is a device used to provide water for the washing of hands. It consists normally of an ewer or container of some kind to pour water, and a bowl to catch the water as it falls off the hands. Considered the forerunner of the modern sink. In several European languages (French, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, Turkish), Lavabo is the modern word for sink or washbasin. Originally the Lavabo was created for use in the church during religious ceremonies, particularly Christianity. In ecclesiastical usage it refers to all of: the basin in which the priest washes his/her/their hands; the ritual that surrounds this action in the Catholic Mass; and the architectural feature or fitting where a basin or place for one is recessed into the side wall of the sanctuary, or projects from it. In most liturgical traditions, the priest washes their hands after vesting, before the beginning of the liturgy. This washing may be accompanied by prayers. Many Christian rites also have the priest wash his/her/their hands before beginning the Eucharistic prayer. The washing of hands during the recitation of psalm verses is of very ancient usage in the Catholic Church. In eastern Orthodox and Catholic churches, after vesting, the priest goes to the piscina to wash his hands before approaching the altar, where he will prepare the bread and wine for the Divine Liturgy. This lavabo takes place quietly, outside of the view of the congregationtarting. Secular usage: Starting around the early 20th century the Lavabo found its way into the gardens of the European wealthy upper class. Today they can still be found in gardens and backyards, sometimes used for washing, watering or as a interesting planter but more commonly used as a display piece or garden decor. Rare, museum quality pieces such as this one are generally found indoors as they are investment pieces and make stunning, highly decorative, unique decorations, complementing many of today's interior styles, including Rustic, French Country, Shabby Chic, Old World Tuscan, Traditional Cottage, Farm or Farmhouse, Vintage Boho, Mediterranean and Lodge to name just a few True antique Lavabos...

Vintage, New and Antique Fountains for Your Home and Garden

Adding antique and vintage fountains to your home and garden is a great way to accentuate your interiors or landscape design as well as reap the benefits of the calming sound of flowing water.

The design of your outdoor fountain — or the indoor fountain you’ve introduced to your parlor — is going to determine how the water flows into its basin. Whether your new addition is a simple bowl-shaped design, an elaborate wall-mounted Art Deco fountain or a classical tiered tower boasting decoratively carved floral motifs, this will determine the movement of the feature’s water as well as the sounds it makes. If you’re looking to ensure that there is steadily bubbling water, a slow trickle, a waterfall or cascading sheets of water, you’ll want to think about the architecture of your fountain.

Interior and exterior fountains are made from a variety of materials. Cast concrete lends a classical look to your outdoor fountain. Limestone, a component of concrete, is a dense rock with a creamy white finish that calls to mind classical sculptures. If you’ve already adorned your garden or patio and firepit area with Roman statues, this will feel cohesive in your outdoor space. While limestone fountains are low maintenance, these features will require upkeep. A limestone fountain will need to be cleaned out and undergo a water change on occasion — at least every two to four months — in order to prevent algae growth as well as the smell that might accompany it.

Glazed ceramic fountains, which also warrant regular cleaning to reduce buildup of debris and mineral deposits, will add a splash of color to your garden or entryway. A Spanish or Italian fountain adorned with vibrant ornamental tiles will pop against your shrubbery and concrete planters. Lightweight options for outdoor fountains can be found in fiberglass and cast iron if stone seems too heavy for your taste.

By the 19th century, Victorians realized there were health benefits to fountains. The sound of running water can help create a harmonious and soothing environment in your well-appointed outdoor oasis or inviting foyer, and today, we could all use a little relaxation.

It’s time to harness the calming properties of gently flowing water. You will love the serenity that a vintage, new or antique fountain from 1stDibs can add to your home and garden.
