Antique Reclaimed Grey Barr Limestone

in random flagstone lengths x 3cm (1-1/4”) thickness

History:                  Antique Grey Barr Limestone was used almost exclusively as a flagstone floor. It was easy to cut and yet hard wearing. The stone’s exploitation was however short lived. Started in 1820s, the quarries in the Languedoc region soon became exhausted by the start of the 20^th Century. The material is now very rare and hence much sought after. 

Character:           Reclaimed from old properties and manoirs in and around the Languedoc region, this floor looks superb in grand surroundings where it is important to make a statement. It is also equally well suited for large kitchens, due to its traditional flagstone shape. Colour varies from light to predominantly mid grey tones with some occasional darker flecks.

Usage:                   Interior.

Notes:                    Each selection is a mixture of smooth and worn pieces; these vary from batch to batch. As antique floors are thoroughly cleaned back when being reclaimed, it is necessary to allow a few months of wear before the antique floor’s original patina starts to return.
