A rare, 18th century shell shaped stone sink

SOLD

Reference N°:

247-25

A good, 18th century shell shaped stone sink, carved from dense petit granit limestone—a richly fossilised Belgian stone known for its subtle blue-grey hue and embedded marine fossils. The basin is gracefully shaped like a scallop shell, with deep, radiating flutes that mimic the natural symmetry of a bivalve, tapering elegantly toward a central drain.

There is some visible wear along the right upper edge, where centuries of use have softened the stone’s lines. A few unobtrusive losses, along with minor scuffs and chips, are consistent with its age. In excellent, usable condition
