Product Description
This three-tier cantera stone fountain with colonial design combines Spanish Colonial heritage with rustic Mediterranean charm. Hand-carved from authentic volcanic stone, the fountain features scalloped basins stacked in perfect proportion. Water flows gently from a finial at the top, cascading in graceful arcs down through each tier before reaching the circular base. Classical acanthus-inspired carving and vertical fluting enhance the design, while the textured cantera surface brings warmth and authenticity. Perfect for hacienda patios, mission-style courtyards, or Mediterranean revival gardens, this fountain functions as both an architectural statement and a source of serenity.
