Antique Hammered Copper Fountain, Displayed With Its Matching Basin

Antique hammered copper fountain, presented with its matching basin, forming a high-quality decorative set.

The reservoir features an elegant, flowing, flared shape, accentuated by moldings and ridges.

Its front is adorned with an engraved floral design, delicately executed in copper.

The lower section is fitted with two brass faucets, which originally allowed water to flow into the basin.

The separate basin, also made of hammered copper, features a widely flared shape resting on a circular, molded base.

The even hammering of the surface creates beautiful plays of light and attests to meticulous craftsmanship.

The set is completed by a central copper soap dish or drainer, featuring two small brass elements.

The copper features a beautiful antique patina, with subtle variations, traces of oxidation, and signs of wear that contribute to the charm and authenticity of the piece.

This type of fountain, both functional and decorative, traditionally found its place in bourgeois interiors or country homes.
