About the Item
A beautifully carved antique limestone font circa 1840, decorated in the gothic style. Ornately carved at the hand of a talented 19th century stonemason, this limestone font was reclaimed from the gardens of Dunkirk Manor, a Grade II Listed Building in the Cotswolds.
Standing at just over 90cm (3ft) tall, this limestone font has stood the test of time. The gothic style decoration including trefoils, foliage, vines and masks are still clear and distinctive after almost two centuries.
With its appealing golden limestone colour, with slight weathering that only adds to its timeworn appeal, and ornate handcarved details, this reclaimed font will sit in pride of place in any garden. You can just imagine it as a centrepiece urn in an old English style stone courtyard or planted with a flourish of colourful flowers as a statement piece of a more modern setting.
