About the Item

A rare and imposing ornamental well (Prunkbrunnen) made of sandstone with metal decorations, originating from a palazzo near Florence, Italy, and dating to the 19th century. The circular well basin is carved with vertical fluting and a rope-twist molding around the rim, resting on a stepped circular sandstone base. Flanking the basin are two tall, slender sandstone columns with simply molded capitals and bases. Spanning between the columns is an elaborate wrought-iron arch richly decorated with scrolling foliage and circular motifs. From the centre of the arch hangs an iron pulley mechanism with a chain descending into the well. The sandstone surfaces show natural weathering and age-related patina consistent with outdoor exposure. Circa 3.000kg Dimensions: Available on request (the well is already packed and stored ready for shipping).
