Antique Limestone Ponne Circa 1780 | French Stone Garden Planter

Exceptional Antique Limestone Ponne Circa 1780

A truly rare piece, this exceptional antique limestone Ponne dates from circa 1780 and has been shaped by more than two centuries of history.

Carved entirely from a single block of French limestone, the Ponne has developed an incredible natural patina over time. Weathered surfaces, irregularities, traces of use and beautiful warm stone tones create a depth that cannot be reproduced by newly manufactured pieces.

Originally made as a functional object for use in the French countryside, this antique limestone piece now offers an entirely different possibility: becoming a strong architectural element within a garden, courtyard or landscape.

With its generous proportions and substantial presence, this 18th-century French limestone Ponne can be used as a garden fountain, water feature or simply displayed as it is.
