When it comes to outdoor design that balances elegance with authenticity, nothing compares to a reclaimed limestone fountain from Ancient Surfaces. These are not just fountains, they are monuments of history, hand carved and weathered by time, salvaged from noble estates, monasteries, and European courtyards. Each one carries the soul of a different century, ready to be reborn in your garden, courtyard, or poolside retreat.
These fountains are designed to endure. Unlike modern replicas made of concrete or resin, our reclaimed limestone is naturally frost-resistant and robust. As seen in our snow-covered installations, even in the harshest winters, our fountains stand unbothered, aging gracefully, gaining character with each passing season. This strength comes from centuries-old oolitic limestone, known for its density and longevity, making our pieces not just decorative, but architectural investments.
From intimate garden nooks to expansive estate entrances, each fountain is crafted to harmonize with its setting. Take, for example, the fountain nestled in a rose garden, where a classical amphora gently spills water into a circular basin surrounded by blossoms. In another scene, a two-tiered scalloped-edge basin creates soft ripples under the glow of courtyard lights. These aren’t installations they are transformations. They turn any outdoor space into a sanctuary, effortlessly blending function with atmosphere.
Our collection includes a variety of forms octagonal basins, sculpted pedestals, carved spouts, and even monumental 158-inch-wide centerpieces. Pieces like the APF-430 don’t just decorate they command presence. Each is a one of a kind creation, reclaimed by our team and restored with precision and care. The result is a fountain that not only flows with water, but with memory, a reminder of Old World grandeur made accessible to modern living.
What truly sets Ancient Surfaces apart is our unmatched dedication to sourcing and preservation. Every stone is carefully chosen, every fountain rebuilt with respect to its origin. We don’t replicate we resurrect. This level of authenticity is why architects, designers, and homeowners around the world trust Ancient Surfaces to deliver not just fountains, but focal points rich in meaning and material honesty.

Whether you’re building a new outdoor oasis or enriching an existing one, our antique fountains are more than a finishing touch they’re the beginning of a new story.
