An Italian limestone courtyard wall fountain,
from the Veneto,
£3,900
the rectangular block-built back-plate with a rectangular ogee-moulded cornice and a brass spout above the a lobed demi-lune bowl with an everted rim, the bowl issuing to the semi-circular pool below comprising a waisted high-kerb surround,
There is nothing more evocative of Italian cities than the courtyard fountain. Whether in a city square or a verdant shaded garden, a cooling trickle or splash of water is a welcome respite in the heat of an Italian summer. This beautifully weathered example is in Vicenza stone.
