[ FEATURES AND DETAILS... ]
Approx. Size: 13" diameter x 10" tallGreat for Home or OfficeThis is a gorgeous vintage tabletop fountain featuring an Art Nouveau theme with two storks. The sculpture on top is cast bronze (or copper) with lovely green patina. The bowl and "lid" are made of a white metal with coppertone finis...h/plating, so the whole thing looks like natural copper.

The fountain has been "tuned up" after years of use. The original pump has been replaced with a BRAND NEW one, including new hose and wiring. The bowl had developed a few pinholes due to attrition of the interior plating/finish, but it has now been sealed with a thick rubber-based sealcoat to prevent this from ever happening again.
It's just a lovely little fountain to watch -- and not too loud. Very peaceful and calming.
[ CONDITION... ]
- Beautiful vintage condition -- from a non-smoking environment.
- As mentioned above, the pump system has been replaced with a brand new one.
- The bowl has been sealed on the inside with a black rubber-base coating to prevent water damage to the metal.
- The smaller stork appears to have a repair to the lower part of his beak ... but nicely done. (See photos.)
The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique items always show their age. (Don't we all!?) It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that there will be something about this item (or lot) that's not perfect and may need touch-up.
PLEASE SUPERSIZE ALL PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.
