French Antique Limestone Slab

A French antique limestone slab of real size: nine feet long, a single piece, 8 inches thick. The top is pale cream and warm sand with faint honey notes, matte and gently weathered, with small pits and pockets that catch the light across the surface. The sides have been left raw and craggy, showing the layered bed of the stone, so the smooth top sits on a rough base like a tablet on a rock.

It measures 108 inches long, 51 1/2 inches deep and 8 inches high. It came from a country property in France. A stone of this size weighs well over a ton and is set by crane; we will coordinate access and rigging with your contractor before it ships. Condition is as found, with the weathering and pitting that belong to it and nothing filled.

On two stone or steel bases it is a dining table for twelve under a pergola or in a garden room. Laid flat it is a landing, a bridge over a rill, or a single monumental step. Of all the limestone slab stock in our yard, this is the one people walk toward first. It is in Marina Del Rey; come and stand next to it, or ask us for photographs and a delivered quote that includes crane time.
