About the Item

A magnificent and monumental antique trough, hand-carved from a single block of French limestone in the 19th century. This piece embodies a powerful rustic charm, showcasing the soul and history of rural France. Its substantial presence and authentic character are evident in every hand-hewn mark and imperfection. Originally serving as a water trough (abreuvoir) on a traditional French farm, this basin has developed a deep and beautiful patina over more than a century. The weathered surface features a rich texture and nuanced shades of grey, with hints of natural moss and lichen that speak to its outdoor life and passage through time. The simple, robust, almost brutalist form highlights the raw beauty of the natural stone. Today, its versatility makes it a stunning architectural element for a variety of settings.
