Dealers in authentic antique limestone sinks.

At Ancient Surfaces we are committed to preserving the elegance and history of architectural antiquity. We source, reclaim and conserve antique limestone sinks and basins, then sell them on to the houses, gardens and estates being built today, turning troughs that were filled for centuries into the quiet centre of a new kitchen or bathroom. A sink is the one piece of architecture a family touches every day.

Our specialists source reclaimed limestone sinks of every character. Deep trough sinks hewn from a single block, shallow vessel basins tooled smooth inside and left rough outside, farmhouse sinks with a full apron front, console sinks carried on carved corbels, and plain weathered basins where the stone does all the talking. Each piece is cleaned, stabilised and conserved with respect for the patina it arrived with. We are careful never to restore that away.

Ancient Surfaces has appeared on the front covers of Architectural Digest in May 2011 and LUX Magazine in November 2012, which says something about how our limestone sinks and architectural antiques are regarded within the design world.

We sell antique limestone sinks to private residences across Manhattan, Jersey City and Newark, and to projects nationwide and overseas that are after genuine historical elegance. Every piece is crated by specialist stone handlers and delivered worldwide. Prices are given on request, because each sink is one of one and the delivered cost depends on its weight and where it is going.
