https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/uk-heritageAn impressive antique Italian Verona marble well head in 16th century renaissance style.
Designed and carved to create such a monumental capital, has a mottled cream and rouge pink stone finished with a charming desirable well weathered finish only gained through the elements over time.
This hollow well head is complimented by the wrought iron arched overthrow that would have once had a wooly or wheel attached to it to gather water.
In today's times, it has an impactful and impressive scale for any garden, certain not to get lost but act as a striking centrepiece.
The revival of the 16th century renaissance style in the late 19th to early 20th century in Britain led to a great demand for pieces such as this, to create the quaint yet charming English gardens came to be known for. A well head of this design and stature would have a been a true prize piece of its time.
