18th Century Italian Walnut Wood Pulpit Canopy
Located in Dallas, TX
This large and attractive architectural piece is known as a pulpit canopy. Before the advent of microphones and speakers, orators would often address assemblies from elevated platforms known as “wine glass pulpits”. These podiums featured domed roofs called abat-voix, sometimes known as sounding boards, that would project sound outwards. Our walnut wood pulpit canopy is a fine example of such a device. Hand-carved and hand-painted in Italy in the 1700’s, our abat-voix is roughly octagonal in shape. Each of the sides have edges with luxuriously thick step molding, alternating between stained and gilded wood. Each of the corner cornices are adorned with gilded flower carvings, although some are missing. The interior of the canopy features a gilded open sun with sinuous rays emanating all around. Each of the sides are adorned with foliate margents surrounded by scrolls, again with some losses. All the edges are bordered with a thin layer of gilding. Although our fascinating 18th century Italian walnut pulpit canopy was designed for a church pulpit...

Antique Trough of French limestone, ca 1760-1780 France
Located in Made, NL
Antique French Limestone Trough; 18th Century Original Overview

This 18th-century antique French limestone trough (reference: OT213) is a rare, one-of-a-kind architectural salvage piece sourced from the rural countryside near Clermont-Ferrand, France. Carved by hand between 1760 and 1780, this substantial trough measures 201 cm wide × 130 cm deep × 71 cm high and weighs approximately 3,000 kg. The surface shows an authentic timeworn patina developed over centuries of use, enhancing its historical character.

Material & Craftsmanship

Crafted from solid French limestone (pierre calcaire), this trough was hand-carved from a single block. Its robust composition makes it highly resistant to weathering, while the natural stone’s subtle tonal variations and aged surface bear witness to its centuries-old origin.

Hand carving in the 18th century involved traditional chiseling techniques by skilled stonemasons, leaving subtle tool marks that add to its authenticity and charm.

Possible Uses in Landscape & Garden Design

Due to its size, weight, and historic appeal, this antique stone trough can serve as:

A focal point in a formal or rustic garden design An antique stone planter for trees, shrubs, or seasonal arrangements A water feature basin in a courtyard or landscaped estate A statement piece for heritage property restoration Historical Context

Stone troughs of this period were originally used in agricultural settings to hold water or feed for livestock. Their practical role and durable construction have ensured their survival for centuries, making them highly sought after by garden designers, landscape architects, and heritage property owners worldwide.
