Limestone Console Sink with a Carved Maltese Cross Shield

A quiet console sink with one piece of heraldry doing all the talking. The apron bows gently across the front and is centred on a carved shield bearing a Maltese cross, a crusader motif that turns up across Mediterranean stonework and dates the piece as clearly as any label. The oval basin above is cut from a warmer marbled stone, and the tapered legs stay deliberately plain so the shield keeps its authority. Reclaimed and conserved by Ancient Surfaces.
