Antique limestone trough with splash-back

Antique limestone trough with splash-back: This is a combination of the large antique reclaimed slate slab (from the mines near Angers) intended to protect a wall from splashing, along with the fine antique French limestone trough.

Although made up of these two heavyweight Truly Reclaimed components, it is relatively small. It is therefore easy to envisage it being installed as an unpretentious feature in a garden or courtyard, or adjacent to an al-fresco dining area or barbecue zone if it is plumbed in with a water supply.

Dimensions:

• Trough length: 101 cm (40 inches)
• Trough width: 59 cm (23 inches)
• Trough height: 50 cm (20 inches)
• Inside length: 84 cm (33 inches)
• Inside width:  43 cm (17 inches)
• Inside depth: 36 cm (14 inches)
• Slate: max/min height 185/155cm x 85cm x thickness 3cm (73/61 x 33.5 x thickness 1.2 inches)
