An antique French large hand basin / sink or water feature. Designed to take a single tap with a drain. Wall corner mounting. This one has been painted at some point and all the paint is coming off – it shouldn’t be too much of a job to remove the rest. Traditionally used in the past in gardens and town centres for peeing in. Cast Iron and very heavy. We sell a few of these we are repurposed for use as water features or for their original purpose as outside toilets for gents.
