Antique Dalle de Bourgogne Stairs
These flagstones are reclaimed from properties in the Burgundy region of France, an area almost as famous for its stone as for its wine. This is a very hard stone. Originally produced by splitting the stone into regular shapes rather than by sawing it. It was then finished by hand. The unique patina of the stone derives from the original natural beds in which the limestone formed, during the Jurassic period. The stone often contains iron and other oxides, which lend the stone its attractive earth-tone colorings.
