Foliate Cartouche Wall Fountain with a Barrel Shaped Basin

A generously carved wall fountain, its arched pediment filled almost edge to edge with a high relief foliate cartouche worked with scrolling leaves, set above a curved, faceted basin wide enough to read as a proper barrel rather than a trough. Honest mineral staining runs down from the spout, evidence of real use rather than damage. Photographed against black with the dealer measurements shown. Available to buy, this reclaimed limestone wall fountain suits gardens and courtyards that want the most heavily worked carving in the collection.
