Antique Bow Fronted Stone Trough

An antique bow-fronted stone trough from Herefordshire with an old repair around the base using iron staples. This is a finely worked trough which is a great shape and has plenty of depth (internal depth 15"). Despite the repair to the base it holds water and does not currently have a drainage hole. 

It would be ideal to go against a wall as part of a circulating garden water feature. 

18th/ 19th Century.
