The stones compared

Updated

Short answer

We carve seven stones in three price tiers: tier A is Carrara White, Red Travertine and Beige Travertine; tier B is Calacatta Viola, Calacatta Gold and Calacatta Lilac; tier C is Rosso Levanto. The marbles are resealed once a year; filled and honed travertine needs resealing twice a year.

Side by side

We carve seven stones. Each sits in one of three price tiers, and the tier sets the price of the sink.

Every block is different

The veins, the color and the cloudy areas change from one block to the next, and no two blocks are alike. A block is chosen for your order and photographed, and you approve the photo before it is cut.

Questions

Will my sink look like the photo?
Not exactly. Veining runs differently in every block, so we photograph the block chosen for your order and share the photo before it is cut.
Which stone needs the most care?
Travertine. It is more porous, so reseal it twice a year; the marbles need it once a year.
