Ancient Surfaces is a New York atelier for reclaimed antique limestone pool fountains. We salvage and restore French and Mediterranean stone fountains, carved wall fountains, village basins and pool water features for exceptional gardens, courtyards and landscape projects worldwide.
Authenticity cannot
be reproduced.
Every Ancient Surfaces limestone fountain carries the marks of its past. Softened rims, masks and basins carved by hand, fossils held in the stone, and a patina that took two centuries of running water to settle. No quarry sells that, and no reproduction has ever copied it.
A selection of singular limestone fountains.
Collected for their history.
Chosen for their presence.
Verified provenance
Every limestone fountain arrives with clear notes on origin, period, condition and the character of the stone itself.
No two fountains alike
Each reclaimed limestone fountain is singular. The carving, the fossils, the water worn edges and the dimensions belong to that piece alone.
