Highgrove House Garden
Medusa Stonemasonry was entrusted with the careful restoration of the marble fountain in the tranquil Carpet Garden at Highgrove House, a space known for its intricate design by Emma Clark. Tasked with removing extensive limescale that had accumulated over time, Medusa’s team revitalised the fountain, restoring its natural beauty and ensuring it continues to serve as the garden’s elegant centrepiece.
Overview
The project involved meticulous cleaning and restoration of the traditional white marble shell fountain at Highgrove’s Carpet Garden, a focal point of the garden’s design. Sourced from a natural spring, the water flowing through the fountain had caused limestone calcification over time. Medusa was called upon to remove the accumulated limescale and polish the fountain, bringing it back to its original pristine condition and preserving its timeless aesthetic. This private commission showcases Medusa’s dedication to maintaining both functionality and beauty in historic and decorative stonework.
