Aegean limestone originating from Turkey millions of years old it is off-white in colour with a slight gold fleck often described as a speckle effect. It is smooth to the touch, but as it is a natural stone, it can include fossils, small chips, markings, colour variation and natural surface flaws. These are not defects and are part of the character of the material and fireplace design.
This natural finish is one of the reasons Aegean limestone is such a popular choice with our customers. It has a soft, warm appearance that works well in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

After assembly and fitting, the fireplace will need sanding and sealing, as the stone is very porous. For assembly, we recommend using a suitable marble glue, which can be purchased from our website.
