OLD WORLD FOUNTAINS - Copyright (C) 2007
Old World Fountains revives the timeless, decorative traits of the Renaissance,
Baroque and Florentine periods through the precise use of a 17th Century
technique developed to create Scagliola Stone, also known as Pietra la Luna, or
Moonstone, almost lost through the centuries.
Uniquely created from a rare molding process and age-old technique originated by
European artisan Monks, this process was handed down through the centuries by
diligent craftsmen to create beautiful works of art and significant
masterpieces, some still residing in the Uffizi Museum in Florence, Italy.
Pietra la Luna, or Moonstone, is an impressive blend of marble crystals and
selected fragments of limestone, travertine and colored pigments fashioned to
capture the cultural heritage and design of antique, decorative Italian marble.
Today, Old World Fountains has revived the real essence of the stone in an
exceptional fountain collection that’s inspired by the most impressive designs
of Europe. The authentic relief work on each spectacular design will enhance the
architectural landscaping of any home, office, or client wanting the look and
feel of Old World elegance and splendor.
Old World Fountains, established by Nedko, Inc., an international leader in
European reconstructed cast stone work, has been used increasingly by architects
and custom home builders for years, both in Europe and North America.
Founder Eric Russler instills the core values of integrity, pride, and
accountability in every aspect of his company to match the utmost quality
available in each product, achieving the highest standards of craftsmanship with
unmatched customer satisfaction.
Old World Fountains bring the beauty and elegance of yesterday into your life
today.
Fountain Collection:
BACCHUS FOUNTAIN- this breathtaking wall fountain reveals the mythical Italian god of
wine whose flowing hair frames his face amidst the subtly carved elements of a
grape and leaf motif. Accented by fluted columns, water gracefully flows like
wine from the god’s lips into two ornate basins.
THE LION WALL FOUNTAIN- this elaborate wall fountain depicts the majestic lion’s head to
reveal the thematic dominance of creature vs. man used to symbolize bravery and
pride since the Renaissance period. Accented with intricate relief work of two
royal tassels, used notably by Kings, the machismo effect is reinforced by two
columns with a beautiful and unique composite capital that flank the basin.
THE CREATION FOUNTAIN- this amazing wall fountain projects the original concept that
water is life. Accented by a classic angelic cherub and two gracefully carved
hands reaching out to embrace mankind and inspired by the renowned
Michelangelo’s masterpiece, makes it the perfect design to complement any home.
NEPTUNE FOUNTAIN- the mythical, powerful god of the universal seas appears to be emerging
fully from the bottom of the ocean’s floor. His indelible presence is strikingly
detailed on this handsome wall fountain. Defined by water cascading from his
mouth, as if preparing to speak, a sense of realism mixed with legendary
intrigue imbues this grand aquatic work.
CHERUBS FOUNTAIN– The harmony and balance of neoclassicism and the rich features of the
baroque period are captured in these carved bas-relief cherubs surrounded by
profusions of detail, including two fluted columns and scalloped basin. The
mythology of the adored, playful cherub is cherished by many, and makes the
perfect wall fountain to add elegance to any home.
Le Sean Rustique
This eclectic wall fountain in cast stone and copper has design elements making
it two-fold – either to alternate the feel of Old World country style, found in
the rustic country landscapes of Provence or to capture today’s new vision of
modernity as seen in its simplicity and sleek lines, so perfect for accenting a
classic home or contemporary office.
Old World Fountains
Lion Provencal – The lion- the symbol of power, courage and nobility for
excellence, and often seen on crests and coats of arms. The magnificent lion
that once roamed the Renaissance landscape of Provence is captured in marble
stone, where sleek lines enhance this stately wall fountain reminiscent of those
scattered throughout the French countryside of Aix-en-Provence. This is the
fountain to make a bold statement to complement any home.
