Handcrafted in Italy And Inspired by the enduring beauty of traditional Tuscan courtyards, this substantial Italian architectural wall fountain combines timeless European design with exceptional craftsmanship.
Sometimes we find pieces that are new, but crafted well and aligned aesthetically, this is one of them.
Cast from crushed marble aggregate, the piece has been designed to replicate the elegance and permanence of carved natural stone while offering outstanding durability for outdoor environments. We recommend an aged brass tap, the one pictured is only an example and not included.
Its generous proportions, deep basin and classical decorative backplate create a striking architectural focal point. Whether installed in a Mediterranean-inspired courtyard, beside a pool, within an entertaining area or inside a rustic farmhouse laundry or boot room, it brings authentic European character to any setting.
The softly textured stone finish has been designed to weather beautifully over time. When exposed to the elements, the surface will gradually develop a natural patina
Designed to accommodate a traditional wall-mounted combination tap and spout, the decorative backplate features a single central tap aperture, allowing the installation of an antique brass fitting to complete the classic Italian aesthetic.

Installation
This fountain is supplied as a modular architectural assembly consisting of individual components, including the pedestal, lower shelf, basin and decorative backplate.
Due to its substantial weight and construction, professional installation by an experienced stonemason, landscape contractor or builder specialising in masonry work is essential.
The pedestal and basin are assembled to form the supporting structure, while the decorative backplate should be securely fixed independently to a suitable masonry wall using appropriate mechanical fixings selected for the supporting substrate. A small clearance between the basin and backplate may be incorporated during installation, allowing for secure fixing while replicating the appearance of traditional European wall fountains.
The installer should determine the most appropriate fixing system for the site conditions and supporting structure.
All plumbing connections should be completed by a licensed plumber.

Please Note
As each piece is handcrafted, subtle variations in colour, texture and small surface pinholes are an inherent characteristic of the casting process and contribute to the authentic appearance of the fountain.
Professional installation is required due to the size, weight and modular construction of this architectural feature.
