Chinese Limestone Well Head Sculpture, c. 1900
$12,800
About
Graphic yet minimal, this elegant stone garden sculpture is actually a Qing-dynasty well head from China's Hebei province. Hand-carved from a solid block of limestone, the stone ring has a smooth surface texture and neutral, mottled coloring. One of the four essential elements of a balanced garden, stone sculptures such as this anchor their surroundings and create a unique focal point for the eye. Set vertically on a custom steel mount, this simple architectural object becomes a striking work of art, a piece of history tucked away in the garden.
Steel base is powder coated for use outdoors.
Additional dimensions:
Base: 29" W x 18" D x 1.25" H.
