Petrified / Fossilised Wood Basin 558 – 53 x 45cm. You are buying this actual basin.  We believe that our petrified basins are some of the most beautiful washbasins available in the world.

Petrified wood is actually fossilised stone! Petrified wood forms when a tree is buried by sediment and protected from decay from oxygen, such as in a bog. Minerals permeate the structure of the wood and slowly (over millions of years) replace the structure of the tree with stone, whilst keeping the features. Indonesian petrified wood is circa 20 million years old. All basins are unique and petrified wood is incredibly hard.

All basins are solid stone and have a standard Australasian waste.

Reclaimed teak vanity/washstands available. Standard and custom sizes/designs available.
