Description

Coalbrookdale Fountain is a cast iron fountain from the late 19th century, created by the Coalbrookdale Company. It features a highly ornate design, including four consoles at the base and two bowls. The fountain is topped with a figure of a cherub wrestling with a snake, which references the mythic character and legend of Laocoon. This fountain is one of a series produced by the renowned Coalbrookdale Company since 1845.
