18th Century French Granite Cistern/Trough

A massive French granite trough, in terms of its overall proportions, is among the largest we have ever been fortunate enough to find. Characterized as “heart-shaped” by its previous owner, we leave that romantic description to the eyes of current beholders. This 18th-century cistern adds a timeless element of French rustic charm, lovingly preserved and brimming with historical intrigue. To fully appreciate this rare relic, it is a must-see in-person piece at our Norfolk, CT, gardens.
