Grand Antique Carved Portland Stone Fountain
About the Item
A grand antique mid 19th century hand-carved Portland stone fountain with intwined fish. Previously a fountain from the grounds of the Royal Observatory, in London, its large scale and unusual design would certainly make a brilliant new addition to any property. Incorporating Victorian and Georgian style, it could be used as a decorative garden piece or fountain centrepiece, as it was originally.
Three heads are showcased to the sides and front, with tails spirting from the top. This magnificent structure sits on top of a thick stone slab.

- Antique French Carved Stone Fountain Facade from Paris, Circa 1900Located in Dallas, TXA stylized depiction of the first appearance of the Greek goddess, Aphrodite, this fountain façade was hand-carved in limestone in Paris.

Carved in mid-relief, the face of Aphrodite can be seen encircled by various seashells as if she were emerging from the water. Above her head is another large shell, flanked by a pair of volutes that comprise the double-arched top of the stone. Aphrodite’s mouth has been carved agape, with an opening of ¾ of an inch, allowing the façade to be paired with a basin for a cascading water fountain...Category
