Tivoli French Quarter Wall Fountain

Description

The French know two things, wine and style, but with the Tivoli French Quarter Wall Fountain, one out of two ain't bad. This hanging fountain is constructed of durable resin and a high-tensile fiberglass that can withstand the elements, despite its rusted looking, rustic finish. Perfect for hanging in your garden, but subtle enough for indoor use, this fountain features a flourishing fleur de lis, that spouts water from three separate points into a central bowl, which mirrors the fanciful flight by expelling the water out from three beaks, where it alights into the base bowl.

In addition to craftsmanship worthy of being hung in the Louvre, this highly-functional hanging fountain is complete with its own built-in water recirculation pump. Meaning, you won't have to install plumbing just to get it to work. Simply hang the fountain, pour water into the base bowl, plug it in, and sit down with a bottle of wine to enjoy the soothing sound of streaming water. This product measures Dimensions: 18.9L x 9.6W x 32.1H inches and weighs 15 lbs.

Campania Cast Stone: The Process
The creation of Campania's cast stone pieces begins and ends by hand. From the creation of an original design, making of a mold, pouring the cast stone, application of the patina to the final packing of an order, the process is both technical and artistic. As many as 30 pairs of hands are involved in the creation of each Campania piece in a labor intensive 15 step process.

The process begins either with the creation of an original copyrighted design by Campania's artisans or an antique original. Antique originals will often require some restoration work, which is also done in-house by expert craftsmen. Campania's mold making department will then begin a multi-step process to create a production mold which will properly replicate the detail and texture of the original piece. Depending on its size and complexity, a mold can take as long as three months to complete. Campania creates in excess of 700 molds per year.

After a mold is completed, it is moved to the production area where a team individually hand pours the liquid cast stone mixture into the mold and employs special techniques to remove air bubbles. Campania carefully monitors the PSI of every piece. PSI (pounds per square inch) measures the strength of every piece to ensure durability. The PSI of Campania pieces is currently engineered at approximately 7500 for optimum strength. Each piece is air-dried and then de-molded by hand. After an internal quality check, pieces are sent to a finishing department where seams are ground and any air holes caused by the pouring process are filled and smoothed. Pieces are then placed on a pallet for stocking in the warehouse.

All Campania pieces are produced and stocked in natural cast stone. When a customer's order is placed, pieces are pulled and unless a piece is requested in natural cast stone, it is finished in a unique patinas. All patinas are applied by hand in a multi-step process; some patinas require three separate color applications. A finisher's skill in applying the patina and wiping away any excess to highlight detail requires not only technical skill, but also true artistic sensibility. Every Campania piece becomes a unique and original work of garden art as a result.

After the patina is dry, the piece is then quality inspected. All pieces of a customer's order are batched and checked for completeness. A two-person packing team will then pack the order by hand into gaylord boxes on pallets. The packing material used is excelsior, a natural wood product that has no chemical additives and may be recycled as display material, repacking customer orders, mulch,or even bedding for animals. This exhaustive process ensures that Campania will remain a popular and beloved choice when it comes to garden decor.
