About the Item
Hand-carved in Northern Italy in the Neoclassical style, this limestone wall fountain features a triangular pediment adorned with thick dentils. Comprised of 26 pieces of stone, the entire structure is reminiscent of Classical architecture associated with ancient Greece and Rome. Each stone has a wonderful light gray palette, with some areas that show a cream, green, or darkened patina.
Four stones form the supporting colonnade of the pediment, consisting of two entablatures with cavetto molding above a pair of fluted Ionic half-columns with a molded plinth. In between the columns is a 14-piece back wall of mostly rectangular stones (the upper three stones beneath the pediment are angular) arranged in five tiers. The middle stone of the second highest tier has been carved with a low-relief rosette surmounting foliage that serves as the collar for the iron spout. Eight stones, most with two layers of deep incut molding, are positioned beneath the spout, forming a half-octagonal basin. A wonderfully carved limestone wall fountain, this would instantly enhance any interior courtyard or exterior wall.

Monumental 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...
