French Late 18th Century Louis XV Pewter Lavabo Mounted on Walnut Stand

A French Louis XV period pewter lavabo on a hand-carved walnut stand from the late 18th century, featuring exquisite shell motifs and acanthus leaves. Created in France during the final years of King Louis XV's reign, nicknamed "The Beloved," this enchanting fountain showcases a two-part pewter lavabo that rests elegantly atop a beautifully crafted walnut structure. The lavabo is adorned with a striking shell motif on the crest, elegantly flanked by intricate acanthus leaves that reflect the organic forms characteristic of the Louis XV style. The fountain is supported by four gently curving legs, which not only provide stability but also enhance the piece's graceful silhouette. These legs are connected by a delicately carved apron on three sides, adding to the overall artistry of the design. With its harmonious proportions and refined color palette, this French Louis XV lavabo fountain, circa 1780, serves as a stunning decorative element that will elevate any interior space.
