Antique Italian Marble Fountain Quatrefoil Basin Carved Marble Fish Spout c 1920
About the Item
Exquisite and rare Antique Italian Hand-Carved Marble Fountain with a Classic Quatrefoil Basin and Fish Spout, that was removed from a Chicago mansion. The quatrefoil design dates back to 850BC and means four leaves and is a symbol for good luck. We have been told by the previous owner that the home where the antique Italian marble fountain resided, was built in the early 1900’s and that seems to mesh well with our thoughts of the Antique Italian Marble Fountains age. Certainly, any Antique Italian Marble Fountain that’s been subjected to over 100-Chicago Winters is not going to be flawless, however, the Antique Italian Marble Fountain presents itself quite well and nothing jumps out at your eye requiring restoration. There are a couple of locations where you can see an old repair down low, but they were executed professionally and are structurally sound.
**The height of the ledge is 13.5".
**Please note the fish tale is missing the tip on part of its tail, image 7. There are two old repairs, images 17 and 19.

- Antique Carved Solid Block of Marble Wash Basin, Sink From Mediterranean RegionLocated in Chicago, ILAlthough this may look like a holy water font from an ancient Italian church, we believe it’s probably a marble wash basin, or sink based on the fact that it has an old drain hole. You can clearly see that the marble sink was mounted into a wall and it could be Roman, Turkish or even Middle Eastern. Sinks or wash basins are thought to have started in Ancient Roman bathhouses. Romans actually had warm water in bowls around the bathhouse in order to wash one’s face and hands. During the 1500’s, the wealthy would have wood washstands...Category
