About the Item
Originally a holy water stoup from a church in the Haute-Garonne department of France, this hand-carved stone benitier dates to the 1700’s. The Haute-Garonne is located in the southwestern part of France, along the Spanish border and about 150 km from the country of Andorra.
Carved from solid French limestone, the benitier features a cavetto cornice beneath the circular opening. The molding, which is adorned with recessed niches, slightly hangs over the wide-lobed gadrooning beneath. Four S-scroll protuberances, embellished with beading, emerge from the niches before terminating on top of the gadrooning. The short neck has a protrusion with foliate motifs, above the thick, circular base with widely spaced spiral fluting that encircles the multiple layers of recessed molding.
Based on the accumulation of moss and the varying levels of patina on the stone, our 18th century benitier has been used frequently as a planter, most likely outdoors. It can also be used as a simple garden ornament or fountain basin, or placed inside and used as a lovely stone sink.

Well Carved Italian Limestone Planter or Fountain Element, H-45 Inches
Located in Dallas, TX
Standing over 45 inches tall, this well-carved limestone planter or fountain element would have a commanding presence in any landscape installation. Hand-carved in Italy in two sections (the basin is separate from the column/plinth section), a central drainage hole runs through both sections, allowing it to be plumbed for a fountain, either as a spill bowl or with a vertical jet.
The basin is six inches tall and has a diameter of almost 30 inches and is adorned with two layers of gadroon separated by a deep cavetto cornice. Interestingly, the bottom ring of lobes terminates beneath a large, attenuated leaf that can be seen under the basin. The beautifully carved basin is supported by an equally impressive, fluted column above a bulbous third section of gadroon. A thickly molded circular plinth with a large leaf cup offers stability and additional aesthetic appeal. The light gray stone has developed a mottled white, gold, and black patina with green and brown moss/lichen accumulation. Our Italian limestone planter could be used in a garden as an elevated planter...
