Product Description
Colonial Cantera Stone Fountain is an iconic garden centerpiece, handcrafted in Mexico from porous volcanic stone. This freestanding fountain adds Spanish colonial charm to outdoor spaces, offering tranquil sound and visual elegance through tiered water cascades.
The structure features either two or three levels depending on height, each intricately sculpted with classic floral and foliage carvings that reflect colonial artistry. The uppermost finial releases water into gracefully scalloped basins, creating a peaceful downward flow into a stone basin enclosure. The fountain’s natural cantera finish complements both Mediterranean and Southwestern landscaping styles.
