Item Description

A Finely carved White Marble Font or Stoup (called Bénitier in French) which came from a church in the Pays De La Loire in France.

The Stoup was for sprinkling holy water on entering the church. 

With a carved Walnut plaque made later as a top so that it can be used as a column for displaying a bust.

A typical geological vein runs up through one side of the column (see photos)

Measures 43 ins tall x 11ins diameter at the top, 13 ins at the base, (109 x 28 x 33 cms)

In good condition,  The column disassembles and there are a few tiny chips where the pieces join.  

Circa 1800-1860.  From France,
