Design and Craftsmanship
The mosaic is executed using traditional zellige techniques passed down through generations in Fes. Each tile is hand-cut and hand-set into a mortar bed to form the geometric pattern and arched silhouette typical of Andalusian fountain panels. Slight variations in tone, glaze, and grout spacing are inherent to handmade tile art and are part of the fountain’s unique character.
Sizing and Custom Orders
Custom patio water sizing is available across the stated range to suit a small garden fountain or a large statement zellige wall fountain. Before ordering, message your desired finished height and width and the intended placement (indoor wall water or outdoor wall). As a made-to-order piece, lead time reflects handcrafting and finishing; allow artisan time for precise cutting, setting, sealing, and testing.
Brass Spout Options and Pump
Choose from six authentic brass water tap designs—lion head, traditional spout, elephant, deer head, fish, or classic—each described in the gallery images. The fountain ships with a brass spout and a matched submersible pump sized for the selected fountain dimensions. The closed water circuit conserves water and delivers a steady, calming flow suitable for calming yard decor, patios, and interior focal walls.
Materials, Finish, and Weather Resistance
Tiles are sealed and finished for exterior durability; the mosaic is suitable for outdoor water decor when installed on a sheltered wall or under moderate exposure. For indoor installations such as an entryway or sunroom, the sealed surface and closed circuit pump provide low-maintenance operation and reduce splash. All materials and finishes reflect traditional zellige workmanship and artisan home decor standards.
Installation Notes
The fountain is designed for wall mounting and requires a secure support surface and access to a grounded electrical outlet for the pump. Standard installation includes the brass spout and pump connections; final plumbing and reinforcement depend on wall type and selected size. For larger sizes, professional installation is recommended to ensure wall anchors and reinforcement meet local building conditions.
Care and Maintenance
Rinse or wipe ceramic tiles with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove dust or mineral buildup. Periodically inspect the brass spout for mineral deposits and clean with a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner. Follow pump manufacturer instructions for occasional filter cleaning to maintain steady water flow.
