Antique trough fountain with double spout

Antique trough fountain with double spout

This extra-ordinary village or courtyard fountain with double-end feature is both pragmatic and decorative. It is hand-carved from French limestone, and is presumed no more recent than 19th century, and could be older. It still has iron rings embedded into the sides for tying horses reins, so must have been used as a horse trough at some point. As the photos clearly show, it has had a battering over the years, with various repairs which frankly add to its authenticity.
