Description
- Vintage Indonesian Limestone Trough
A rare antique water vessel | Ideal as fountain, sink, or planter
Unearthed from rural villages across Indonesia, this vintage limestone trough is a striking relic of utilitarian history—once used for storing water, now reimagined as a statement piece in modern design. Hand-carved from solid limestone, each trough reflects decades of exposure and use, with a weathered patina and natural wear that speak to its origin and age.
These one-of-a-kind vessels are highly popular along the West Coast, and we’re proud to be the exclusive retailer bringing these exceptional antiques to the East Coast.
Functional Beauty Meets Timeless Character
While originally functional, these limestone troughs now serve a more decorative purpose—adding depth, texture, and quiet grandeur to any setting. Today, they’re frequently:
- Sealed and converted into water features or bubbling fountains
- Transformed into stone sinks for bathrooms or outdoor kitchens
- Used as planters in gardens, patios, or interior design projects
Their raw, sculptural presence adds a grounded elegance to both traditional and contemporary spaces.
