Antique Belgian Cobblestone

Antique Belgian cobblestone pavers are the real thing: setts lifted from old Belgian streets, with tops worn smooth by a century or more of wheels and feet, chipped edges, and shapes that are never quite square. The color runs through deep charcoal, soft gray and warm brown, and it darkens and deepens after rain without ever going shiny. Up close, the subtle relief in the tops catches light and shadow in a way new paving cannot copy.

The standard format is a nominal 5 1/2 by 8 inch sett at 1 1/2 inches thick, a thinner gauge for setting over a slab. We also carry it at full depth, 5 1/2 by 8 by 6 inches and 6 by 6 by 6 inches, and in a 6 by 6 inch format 1 1/2 inches thick. All are sold by the square foot. Expect variation in size and tone within every pallet; that is the material.

Full-depth setts are the right choice for a cobblestone driveway or a motor court; the thinner stones suit a courtyard, a main garden path, or edging that makes gravel and planting look deliberate. Reclaimed cobblestone pavers like these sit naturally beside brick, timber, plaster and glass. Come and handle the stone in Marina Del Rey, or send us your area and we will quote it delivered.
