About the Item

A truly magnificent and monumental garden trough, hand-carved from a single massive block of French limestone and resting on two integrated block legs. This is a rare and important piece, impressive not only for its grand scale but also for its incredibly textural, almost geological, surface. The stone has been deeply weathered by the elements over more than a century, resulting in a dramatic, pitted surface that gives the piece an ancient, sculptural quality. Its thick, wide rim is beautifully eroded and irregular, a testament to its long history and utilitarian past, likely as a water reservoir or a grand feeding trough on a large agricultural estate. The two substantial feet elevate the basin, giving it a commanding presence and formal stature. A drainage hole is present, allowing for versatile modern use. This exceptional piece is destined to become the anchor of any significant garden or landscape design
