Where the Stone Goes

Giallo Siena Marble in Use

Giallo Siena marble is asked for by the square metre, by the slab and by the piece. This page is where it goes: our own material, photographed in our own workshop; the stone as it is used; and the applications it is specified for.

Our own material

This stone, in our own workshop

Every picture in this band was taken in our own workshop, on the day, in the order the work happened. It is the record of what happens to the stone between the block and the container, and it is the part of this page we can stand behind.

Published trade photography

The stone as it is used

The pictures below are published photographs of Giallo Siena marble installations. They show the stone in use, and each one is labelled as published trade photography on the picture itself. They are not photographs of work we supplied, and the colour on screen is not a colour-match. Ask for a sample before you specify.

Several slabs of the stone laid side by side, showing how the yellow-brown network moves from one piece to the next and how no two of them carry the same figure.

A close view of the pale cream ground carrying a yellow-brown network, with the fine clasts and the thin angular fractures that come with a brecciated marble.

The same lithotype seen with the network running across the piece in the other direction, and the reddish patches that sit in the paler ground.

The deeper golden block, where the ground reads more ochre and the brown network is heavier, and the vein direction is read before the saw passes.

The stone laid as a floor across an entrance hall, cut into panels and set so the figure runs from one to the next.

The stone used as a worktop surface, seen close enough for the polish and the depth of the ground to read.

The applications we serve

Where this stone is asked for

Each of these is a decision about thickness, about finish and about how the piece is fixed — not about colour. The page for each one says what that use asks of the stone.

Interior FlooringHoned for grip; laid on a substrate sized for the span.Stairs and TreadsThickness follows the rise, and the nosing profile is agreed before cutting.Kitchen WorktopsSealed for a wet working surface; 20 mm and 30 mm for unsupported spans.Bathrooms and VanitiesLow absorption suits a humid room; honed where the floor is wet.Wall CladdingAny finish reads well vertically; 10 mm panels need mechanical fixing.Tables and FurnitureCut to size and edge-finished; matching across a set is decided at layout stage.Fireplaces and MantelsRiven or honed for the surround; the hearth takes heat separately.Terraces, Thresholds and SillsExternal use; bush-hammered or sawn for grip on the walking surface.

There is no checkout here and there is no price list. A stone enquiry is an agreement about material, size, finish and destination, and the answer depends on those four things. Send them and the reply carries what can actually be shipped.
