Antique French Limestone – Reclaimed Dalles de Bourgogne
Product Description
These original antique French limestone slabs, also known as Dalles de Bourgogne, have been carefully reclaimed from centuries-old farmhouses, manors, and estates in Burgundy, France. Hand-cut in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries, each piece reflects the craftsmanship of the past and carries its own unique patina.
Our experienced team removes these floors with care, then individually cleans and restores each slab in our workshop. The result is a ready-to-lay floor that combines authentic history with modern practicality.
