The charm of an Ancient trough lies in its rustic design, aged patina, and rich history, elevating it to a functional art piece that enhances any landscape with its unique character and enduring beauty. Constructed from robust materials such as granite, sandstone, and limestone, these troughs are built to last, capable of enduring diverse weather conditions. They can be transformed into raised beds for a variety of plants, flowers, herbs, or vegetables by filling them with soil. Additionally, their original purpose of holding water makes them perfect for creating simple garden ponds, cascading water features, or artistic water sculptures. Troughs can also serve as habitats for pond fish and koi, as well as a sanctuary for aquatic life like frogs and dragonflies. A smaller trough can function as a bird bath, offering a natural water source for garden birds. Alternatively, leaving a trough in its original state can provide a striking decorative element, showcasing its historical and artistic significance.

Installing the Ancient Trough is a straightforward process that anyone can manage. To ensure optimal performance, it’s important to position it on level ground and choose a location that suits your needs, whether that be in a sunny spot or a shaded area of your yard or garden. This simple setup will enhance your outdoor space effortlessly.

About Color Finishes

About Giannini Color Finishes

These wonderful colors are durable and have proven to withstand harsh weather conditions.

NOTE: The color Antico arrives greenish and needs a few weeks to age to the color shown. Spraying with water and setting in the sun will help to expedite the aging process to the aged color that you see.

FINISH AND COLOR VARIATIONS: The colors represented in this catalog give you a range of what our finishes look like. They will never be exactly like shown because photography, lighting, and the printing process, changes the tone of the colors.

We know from experience the impossibility to guarantee the homogeneity of the finish of our product. Through the manufacturing process, these garden ornaments are treated in a way that give them certain unique characteristics.

All garden ornaments are hand-poured and finished manually, therefore they vary according to many factors: how long the piece has been cured, the weather on the day it was finished, who is doing the finishing, and the texture of the piece. All theses factors add to the uniqueness and authenticity of our garden ornaments.

No two items look alike. Variations are completely normal.

The beautiful color finishes are made to look like they have always been in your garden or that you found them on an antiquing trip. The finish will also be enhanced with the passage of time and weather exposure, and will pick up their own natural patina.

NOTE: Colors are not guaranteed to be exactly what you see on your monitor or printed page. To receive color samples on cast stone media, first request a quotation. When you receive your quote and are still interested in purchasing it from us, then contact us with the colors you would like to have. We can offer a couple complimentary samples and there will be a charge for more.
