Antique Cast Iron Trough on Limestone Stands

Object Description

This Victorian era antique cast iron trough is a beautiful feature for a traditional garden or country courtyard. Once used as a water trough, it is elevated by a pair of shaped limestone stands, making it ideal for use as a large, raised planter for flowers and garden greenery. Dating from the late 19th century, this large cast iron trough is over 130 years old. As such, it is instilled with characteristic weathering that only exposure to the elements through time can create, telling the story of a 19th century English garden or farm.
