Roman Classic Travertine (Crosscut)
Roman Classic Travertine is quarried near Tivoli in the Rome region of Italy, the stone behind much of the ancient city’s architecture. Its creamy white base carries warm beige tones, and this crosscut block reveals a soft, cloudy pattern instead of the linear banding of a vein cut.
That even pattern makes it easy to run across large walls and floors without the surface feeling busy. Up close, the natural pitting gives it the texture travertine is known for.
Like all travertine it is porous, so plan on sealing every 1 to 2 years and cleaning with warm water and mild soap rather than harsh products.
Best for: walls, floors, classic and traditional interiors.

Roman Striato Travertine is a premier Italian travertine quarried from the outer regions of Rome, distinguished by its pronounced horizontal striations that give the stone its name, striato meaning striped in Italian. A warm, earthy background provides the canvas for rhythmic, grey horizontal veining that flows across each slab with a stronger, more defined linear movement than subtler travertine varieties, creating a visual rhythm that is particularly breathtaking across expansive feature walls and flooring where the patterning can flow completely uninterrupted. Carrying the same ancient Italian heritage as the stone used in the Colosseum and countless Roman architectural masterpieces, Roman Striato brings an authentic historical grandeur to contemporary Australian interiors with effortless elegance. Perfectly suited to feature walls, flooring, wall cladding and bathroom applications, it pairs beautifully with warm timber, brass fixtures and Mediterranean-inspired elements. As with all travertine, regular sealing every one to two years will protect its naturally porous surface and keep it looking its best.
Roman Classic Travertine is the very essence of travertine in its most authentic and celebrated form, presenting a creamy white canvas gracefully adorned with delicate, warm beige striations that drift across each slab with a timeless, historically resonant beauty that connects every installation to centuries of architectural grandeur. Quarried from the same Roman region that supplied stone for the great architectural marvels of ancient Rome, this travertine carries a genuine historical heritage and a sense of enduring permanence that few natural stones can rival. The soft, warm tonal variations between the creamy white base and the gentle beige striations create a surface that feels simultaneously expansive and intimate, brightening spaces with a smooth, luminous warmth that has made it a beloved choice in luxury interiors for generations. Perfectly suited to flooring, wall cladding, feature walls, bathroom vanities and fireplace surrounds, Roman Classic Travertine pairs beautifully with warm timber, wrought iron, terracotta accents and brushed brass fixtures, bringing a timeless Mediterranean elegance and an authentic sense of Roman heritage to any interior it graces. As with all travertine, periodic sealing every one to two years will protect its naturally porous surface and preserve its enduring beauty.
Navona Travertine is a delicately refined natural stone that sets itself apart from conventional travertines with a luminous white base gracefully marked by soft, creamy beige streaks that drift across the surface with an almost ivory warmth and quiet, understated elegance. Where many travertines lean towards deeper beige and warm caramel tones, Navona sits in a lighter, more luminous territory, offering a refined sophistication that feels closer to the purity of white marble while retaining the authentic natural character and gentle texture that makes travertine so enduringly beloved. The subtle creamy streaking adds just enough tonal variation to give the stone depth and visual interest without disrupting its overall sense of serene, timeless calm. Perfectly suited to bathroom vanities, feature walls, kitchen benchtops and sophisticated flooring, Navona Travertine pairs beautifully with brushed brass fixtures, soft white joinery and natural timber accents, bringing a luminous, quietly charming elegance to any interior that appreciates the understated beauty of truly refined natural stone. As with all travertine, periodic sealing every one to two years will protect its naturally porous surface and preserve its timeless beauty.
Calacatta Vagli is an Italian marble with a warm, creamy white base and grey and gold veining that breaks into a brecciated, fragmented pattern rather than running in straight lines. Quarried in the Vagli area of Tuscany, part of the historic Carrara marble region, each slab carries its own movement, so no two are alike.
The scattered gold and grey veins give the surface real depth, catching the light through the day and reading as a soft, warm block of colour across a room. As a marble it is porous and softer than quartzite or granite, so it can etch from acidic spills and benefits from sealing every one to two years, with spills wiped up promptly.
Best for: kitchen islands, benchtops, feature walls, shower niches and fireplace surrounds.
It pairs well with timber cabinetry, brass fixtures and warm, natural materials. See the current Calacatta Vagli slabs in person at our Greenacre or Beresfield showroom, since photos do not capture the depth of the veining.
