A fine and rare hand carved English and Continental white marble water fountain. The base is carved with flowing water above the pedestal with three young boys mounted on top is a three lobed fountain bowl carved from one piece of marble, also having a moulded edge. Above is a boy with spouting fish which is signed by the 19th C. Firenze Italian artist “P. Bozzanti” The fountain is piped for water and is a most rare survival.
