Antique French Mini Cobblestone

Antique French mini cobblestone pavers are the smallest stones we carry, about 2 inches square, lifted from the kitchens and courtyards of old French chateaux where they were laid tight in fans and curves. The scale changes a floor completely: it reads more like a woven textile than paving, and the light breaks across a thousand small rounded tops. Colors are warm creams, pale beiges and soft greiges with occasional honey notes.

The stones are random in width, length and shape, usually around 2 by 2 inches, and range from 1 1/2 to 3 inches thick, so they are bedded in mortar and the surface is brought level during setting. The tops are worn round and smooth; this is a floor that is pleasant to walk on barefoot. Sold by the square foot, and quantities are finite, so ask about what is on hand.

The small format allows layouts that larger stones cannot manage, sweeping fans, tight arcs and organic curves, which makes it a natural choice for a wine cellar, a boutique entry, a sunroom or a small courtyard, set against lime plaster and white oak. Reclaimed cobblestone at this scale is rare. See the cobblestone pavers in Marina Del Rey, or send your area and we will quote it delivered.
