FUNCTIONAL ART?

Looks great there should be more about the old victorian had better sense than what they have today.

Here is an original one not far from where I live still in use. Scroll down a little and tell me what you think I pass it often next time I ll get a photo.

I think it's a fine fixture esp with the black & gold and it can service a whole army all at once is remarkable. It must get good water pressure. A job well done.

Lol yes I suppose it would water an army.
This was it prior to restoration.
