 | Reproductions of historical relics add a distinguished note to your home decor, and they’re more than reasonably priced thanks to modern production methods. Wall fountains are one of these interesting items that are enjoying a surge in popularity for use indoors and outdoors.
Romans were the first society to actually create an organized way to deliver water to the villas and palaces of their cities. While modern Man may gripe about their water bill or tax, the Romans were light years ahead of today’s bureaucrats when they billed each household by the size of the nozzle on the pipes laid to that residence. Of course, such public sources as wall fountains, were free for all, although their appearance was often fearsome.
Water piped through city walls in Rome, spouted from the mouths of lions, an animal revered for its courage and strength. So popular were the leonine figures, that even centuries later, they continued to decorate public and private buildings in countries all over the world. Sadly, many of these original sculpted fountains deteriorated due to the elements and have vanished from the landscape.

Wall Fountains
However, it is still possible to bring a touch of the past to your patio, garden, or even a conservatory or sunroom, indoors. Lion wall fountains made of stone resin and cement are impervious to weather extremes, and yet have all the intricate and fascinating detail of the original Roman stone figures. Circulating pumps ensure that water continues to pour through the lion, and into the built-in basin.
Another nice touch for indoors, is a pot wall fountain, an elegant and exquisite addition to the wall of any room. These charming arrangements of three pots on their sides, pour water from one to the other in a continuous cascade of water, powered by a pump, and circulated through tubing that is concealed behind the vertical arrangement of leaves and vines. Absolutely delightful, they provide not only a unique addition to your décor, but the relaxing sound of softly falling water. |
