French Antique Foundation Slab

One of the broader French antique limestone blocks we have in stock, this slab is a plain rectangle of old French stone more than six feet long and a full 6 3/4 inches thick. We have not photographed the surface closely enough yet to describe its color or markings here, so we will say only what we know: it is reclaimed limestone from France, with the weathering, softened edges and small chips that belong to a slab of this age, and nothing has been dressed or cleaned.

It measures 74 3/4 inches long, 39 1/2 inches deep and 6 3/4 inches high. At that size it is set by machine onto a prepared base, and indoors it needs a floor built for the load.

It makes a long dining or work table top on an iron frame, a hearth or threshold, or a flat platform in a garden for pots and a bench. As antique limestone slabs go, it is a generous, simple piece that will take whatever use it is given. It is in our yard in Marina Del Rey; ask us for photographs and the weight, and we will quote it delivered, or come and see the stone beside the other limestone blocks.
