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 Ruseler 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.

Lion Provencal – The lion- the symbol of power, courage and nobility for excellence, and often seen on crests and coats of arms.

This is the fountain to make a bold statement to complement any home.
