Ancient Surfaces is a New York atelier for reclaimed antique limestone wall fountains. We salvage and restore French, Italian and Mediterranean fountains, carved lavabos and monolithic stone basins for exceptional gardens, courtyards and architectural projects worldwide.
Authenticity cannot
be reproduced.
Every antique limestone wall fountain at Ancient Surfaces carries the marks of its own past. Edges softened by use, masks and shells carved by hand, fossils still 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 managed to copy it.
A selection of singular wall fountains.
Collected for their history.
Chosen for their presence.
Verified provenance
Every antique limestone wall fountain from Ancient Surfaces arrives with clear notes on its origin, period, condition and the character of the stone itself.
