SCALLOPED PEDESTAL FOUNTAIN
The Edge Is the Ornament, and Nothing Else Competes With It
Most classical fountains earn their presence through added detail. Lion heads, cherubs, deep relief. This one earns it through shape alone. The scalloped rim is the only ornament, it runs around the widest and most visible edge of each bowl, and it does a job as well as a look: the waves break the falling water into many fine strands instead of one continuous curtain.
That restraint is the reason it is easy to place. A fountain with a sculpted figure decides the character of the garden it stands in. A pedestal water fountain with a plain surface and a shaped edge sits next to brick, gravel, clipped box or loose planting without arguing with any of it.
At 77.6 pounds it is the lighter of the two 48 inch concrete pedestal fountains we carry, which matters at assembly time and matters again if you ever change your mind about the position.
What You Get With This Pedestal Water Fountain
-
01
Ornament that also does something.
The scalloped rim breaks the overflow into many fine strands rather than a single sheet, so a piece with almost no surface detail still gives you the layered sound of a full cascade.
-
02
Warm cream, not cold gray.
The weathered stone finish leans buff and warm, which sits more easily against brick, terracotta and sandy paving than a cool gray piece does.
-
03
Nothing to date it.
No figures and no period carving means nothing to argue with a modern planting scheme or a formal one. It reads as a tiered garden fountain and stops there.
-
04
Seventy seven pounds instead of a hundred and eleven.
The lighter of our two 48 inch concrete pedestal fountains, which is a real difference on assembly day.
It suits the inside curve of a wide planting bed, the point where a patio meets the garden, or the end of a path. Because the surface is plain it also works as a front yard fountain in an open position, where a heavily carved piece would look busy against the house. Set it on level solid ground and prefer a prepared pad or paving over bare soil, which settles unevenly under this weight inside a season. Decide the position before you stack the tiers.
