A beautifully preserved 18th century French stone font, likely used historically for washing hands or as a holy water stoup. The font was carved out of a dark grey limestone (St. Cyr au Mont d'Or) , richly embedded with visible fossile inclusions. The inner surface is smooth and polished, yet retains signs of age and use, enhancing its antique character.The basin has a hexagonal shape with cut front corners and a shallow inner bowl that subtly dips toward a central drainage hole at the back. In excellent, usable condition. Minor chipping on edges. Wear consistent with age and use. Structurally sound and perfectly water tight.
