About the Item

A magnificent and authentic antique trough, hand-carved from a single, dense block of French limestone in the 19th century. This piece is a remarkable example of rustic artisanship, originally serving a utilitarian purpose as a water basin for livestock or for domestic use on a farm. The trough boasts a truly exceptional patina, a testament to its long life exposed to the elements. The surface showcases a beautiful tapestry of colors, from the natural light gray stone to rich shades of ochre and weathered grey-black, accrued over more than a century. The hand-hewn marks of the artisan's tools are still visible, giving the piece a powerful, tactile quality and celebrating the beauty of imperfection. Its thick, substantial walls and robust form speak to its durability and history.
