French Antique Limestone Slab

A French antique limestone slab in cool gray, nearly square and only 3 inches thick, with a face so densely pitted it reads almost as honeycomb. The color moves from ash and blue-gray to a deep charcoal around the perimeter, with notes of warm sand and honey tucked into the open pores. The top is uneven, rippled and marked by old tools, and two round openings pierce the field, a leftover from its earlier use.

It measures 51 inches wide, 50 inches deep and 3 inches high. The edges are raw and irregular, giving a jagged outline rather than a sawn one. At this thickness it lays flush with most paving and flooring. Condition is as found, with the two holes, the pitting and the broken edges; the holes can be left open, plugged with stone, or used for drainage under a basin.

Use it as a dark hearth slab in front of a fire, as an entry threshold, or as a one-off top for a stone table on a base that can take real daily contact. Outdoors it suits a covered patio or a large landing where it sits directly on the ground. This limestone slab is in our yard in Marina Del Rey, where you can see the holes and edges for yourself; otherwise ask us for detailed photographs and a quote.
