The Product

The unique ANTIQUE STONE process is a combination of proven technologies and systems for the manufacturing of an exclusive range of reconstituted stone products.

Reconstituted stone was invented by the Romans, and some examples have survived for over 2,000 years. The remaining columns of the Roman Forum are an example of bricks and mortar being encased in a molded veneer of marble dust mixed with cement. Today’s reconstituted stone is basically the same except for modern additives and processes that makes ANTIQUE STONE even more durable and natural in appearance.

All ANTIQUE STONE products are recreations of natural stone with an emphasis on aged patina and traditional design. Our limestone is a recreation of Parisienne Limestone and Village Stone Tiles and Flagstones, an exact replica of Italian Basalt carved by the Franciscans of Assisi, 500 years ago.

"We are a firm of Landscape Architects specialising in only the highest quality domestic projects on the east coast of Australia. Due to our professional market area we specify only the best quality finishes & products. We have been specifying Antique Stone products since the inception of the Antique Stone Company.

The unique process of manufacture has allowed us to specify the paving product to be specifically sized for individual projects which has allowed us to explore non traditional use options for both the paving & feature products available through the Antique Stone range. The unique product has in turn been beneficial to our marketing as we are able to provide our clients with something a little bit different & special."
