THE
MATERIALS
The marbles in our Special Materials Collection have been carefully chosen
for their wide range of colour and striation, ranging from the jewel-rich tones
of Breche de Vendomme and Anatolian Lilac to the monochromatic hues of
Pele de Tigre and Nero Marquina.
All are naturally quarried materials that we source from countries throughout
Europe and as far afield as China and Africa. We are continually searching for
the new and undiscovered to enrich our collection.
Each quarry has its own story, a unique combination of people, place and
history which make a visit to it a pleasurable and uplifting experience. It also
serves as a reminder that the process that sees a block of marble extracted
from an ancient quarry and ultimately transformed into a beautiful fireplace
has changed very little over the centuries.
