Antique French Stable Pavers

Antique French stable pavers are among the rarer cobblestone pavers we bring back: small, blocky stones lifted from the floors of old French stables and farm courts, where generations of hooves and boots wore the tops flat and rounded the edges down. From a distance the field reads calm; up close it is a tight puzzle of stone. The color sits in warm grays, taupe and brown, with the deep patina that only long use gives, and underfoot the faces are satin smooth and sure.

The stones are random in size, 2 to 6 inches wide, 4 to 12 inches long and 4 to 8 inches thick as they come out of the ground. They can be bought gauged to a consistent thickness, which makes setting over a slab simpler. Sold by the square foot; quantities are limited to what we have reclaimed.

The blocky format of these cobblestone pavers suits a residential cobblestone driveway, an entry court, and turning areas or thresholds where a dense village-style surface is wanted. Pair the warm mix with lime plaster, aged brick and black steel, or soften it with oak and gravel. Samples are at our showroom in Marina Del Rey; send us your square footage and we will quote the material and the gauging.
