About the Item
This beautiful two-spout wall fountain was hand-carved in Italy from 68 pieces of limestone. The grand fountain has meticulous details, highlighted by the large, segmented shell that comprises six of the back wall stones.
Three levels of stone make up the arching, semi-circular basin, with the middle tier indented from the stones set above and below. Behind the basin is a wall of stones roughly 13 feet wide and topped with a thick, rolled molding. Above the molding is a gently sloping back wall adorned with thick molding. Two springer stones (the terminus of an arch) have been carved into scrolls in the Vitruvian style. The keystone above the shell motif is topped with a conical finial. In between the shell and the basin is a raised rectangle with canted corners which surrounds two carved, circular apertures that house the iron spouts.
The detail and planning that went into the creation of this Italian villa wall fountain is stunning. It took a master stone carver great vision and skill to carve this fountain. Our two-spout wall fountain with an arched basin would make a wonderful addition to any exterior landscape, such as a rose garden or courtyard.

View AllMonumental Italian Wall Fountain in Carved Verona Rossa Marble, Early 1900s
Located in Dallas, TX
This monumental Italian wall fountain was hand-carved in verona rossa marble in the early 1900’s. Truly the work of a master mason, the fountain is comprised of four thick pieces of richly carved marble, with each piece weighing several hundred pounds. The marble has lovely salmon color with cream inclusions that has developed a soft patina.
The 3 ¼” deep back wall is adorned with a repetitive C-scroll border. A winged lion mascaron hovers above a geometric panel filled with nondescript interlaced carvings. Below the panel is a scalloped shell with sprawling barbed rinceaux that flows between a pair of volute scrolls on the edge of the wall. The shell has a small, incised circle where a spout or tap can be placed, depending on the desired use.
Beneath the vertical wall is an 8 ½” thick sinuous bowl embellished with thick quarter round molding. The front façade has a stylized coat of arms consisting of a shaped shield emblazoned with a fleur de lys. Inside the basin, the back wall has been carved with a pair of volute C-scrolls surrounding bundled leaves. At the base of the leaves is a small drainage hole.
Three volutes highlight the luxurious column that sits on a rectangular plinth with two canted corners. All three volutes are in the traditional S-shape, with two of them flanking the larger channeled scroll. A small fleur de lys graces the front of the plinth, which has gently sloped top edges. There is a thin grooved molding near the base.
A natural conversation piece for any courtyard or garden setting, the Renaissance style Italian wall fountain can be used indoors or outside. It could also be used as a large sink...
