Beneath the Surface

A History of Quality

This antique limestone was commonly used as flooring when it was first quarried during the 18th and 19th centuries. Our reclaimed Blond Barre is pulled from country residences and building constructions within the Provence region of southeastern France. A uniquely expressive stone, Blond Barre exhibits subtle color variations with deep patination from centuries of consistent wear and use. It takes nearly a week to successfully salvage the stones from their original installations, and several more weeks for expert stonemasons to cut them to order. Thoughtfully inspected for both authenticity and quality, the stone undergoes an intense cleaning procedure that eliminates all traces of dirt and organic matter during fabrication. The finished stone is then packaged and shipped to bring its rich history to new projects around the world.
