Description

Blue stone was not often used to make troughs during the 1800s, making this a rare find, but the highlight of our 19th century French trough is the gorgeous color palette. Several white veins can be seen, with a prominent one that meanders diagonally from one side to the opposing corner, providing visually stunning accents to the blue-gray stone. The three-inch-thick walls have subtle texturing, further enhancing the beauty of the trough. Recently discovered at a property in the Pyrénées, where it was used as a watering trough (see detailed photo); however, based on the presence and positioning of the large drain hole, this would make a wonderful farmhouse sink.

CONDITION: Good antique condition. Commensurate losses with minor age separations. Light rubs and slight buildup of orange and ochre in small areas.
