About

Fill up this decorative “Fontaine” with dry flowers and hang it on a wall! Crafted in Normandy, France circa 1860, and mounted on the original carved board, the two-part antique brass lavabo features the original bottom demilune basin and the top reservoir dressed with brass handles, and a top lid embellished with decorative finials. The fountain is in excellent condition with a rich patinated brass finish. Back in the days, these kind of fountains were used after mass for ceremonial washing and were later used outside for hand washing. Measures: 22.75″ W x 13″ D x 68″ H.
