Wall Fountain, In Copper. 18th Century.

Curved tank on the front, with sides on the sides, engraved with a flower stem. Complete with its lid with turned sockets and its brass taps with zoomorphic heads. Large basin forged in one piece, placed on a pedestal with a rolled edge. Total height of the tank: 51 cm. Width: 37 cm. Depth: 23 cm. Basin height: 24 cm. Width: 49.5 cm. Depth: 44 cm. A few repairs to the rolled edges of the basin and small fillings with tin. It is common for fountain basins to show more wear than reservoirs. The latter remained attached to be filled using a bucket or a pitcher, while the basins, often manipulated to be emptied, suffered shocks and deformations. This type of fountain characterizes the copper production of the South of AUVERGNE, in particular of AURILLAC. Period: 18th century. Very good condition.
