Dealers in authentic antique limestone pool fountains.

At Ancient Surfaces we are committed to preserving the elegance and history of architectural antiquity. We source, reclaim and conserve antique limestone pool fountains, then sell them on to the houses, gardens and estates being built today, turning basins that ran for centuries into the quiet centre of a new courtyard. A fountain is the one piece of architecture in a garden you hear before you see.

Our specialists source reclaimed limestone pool fountains of every character. Village pillar fountains with wrought iron spouts and their original tie bars, tiered centrepieces with gadrooned bowls and lion mask spouts, wide panelled pool basins carved with rosettes and fluting, and plain block basins where the stone does all the talking. Each piece is cleaned, stabilised and conserved with respect for the patina it arrived with. We are careful never to restore that away.

Ancient Surfaces has appeared on the front covers of Architectural Digest in May 2011 and LUX Magazine in November 2012, which says something about how our limestone fountains and architectural antiques are regarded within the design world.

We sell antique limestone pool fountains to private residences across Manhattan, Jersey City and Newark, and to projects nationwide and overseas that are after genuine historical elegance. Every fountain is crated by specialist stone handlers and delivered worldwide. Prices are given on request, because each piece is one of one and the delivered cost depends on its weight and where it is going.
