French Antique Dalle de Bourgogne - 2nd Cut

Slicing the historic limestone blocks reclaimed from the Burgundy region of France to create French Antique Dalle de Bourgogne - 2nd Cut exposes a hidden, cooler inner core. This process establishes a flat, deeply grooved surface that brings a tailored, rugged feeling to the room. The completely matte finish sets a grounded, quiet tone across the floor.

Revealing this inner layer presents subdued shifts of dove grey, pale oatmeal, and slate. Artisans hand-carve the newly exposed face, leaving behind deep, parallel gouges and freshly chipped, irregular boundaries. These distinct surface striations and uneven outlines guarantee no two layouts ever match.

The heavily scored profile builds a highly durable floor for a busy modern entryway. Routed into a subterranean wine cellar, the thick material easily handles constant foot traffic and moving wooden casks. Placed across an enclosed sunroom, the dense stone visually connects the indoor living spaces to the exterior landscape.

The linear gouges of the limestone create a sharp visual break against smooth, frameless glass doors. The cooler grey tones sit beautifully alongside the rich, natural grain of solid walnut cabinetry. Paired directly with rough-hewn oak ceiling beams, the distressed floor completes the room.
