legant at a doorway , decorating your home or garden with marble .
The marble have been stored for over 50 years in my parent's yard and have withstood weather but in need of cleaning and polishing. When cleaned they will once again be grand.
This group of marble are part of this Southern Antique collector's possessions as an art piece although it was once put to practical where it once stood . Then as the old home was destroyed this collector carefully salvaged the tiles and stored in for more than half of a century. Some of this marble was used in his own home as you can see from photos.
The 1966 Newspaper article said."Maybe the collector didn’t even remember where it was stored or why he had saved it all those years. Maybe just because he liked it , with no use in mind. But the fact remains that, in depths of the Great Depression when the decorative features of razed residences might be had, at least, for carting them away at most, for a song."
Marble of this type were popular with upscale 19th- Century Architects and were used to grace the mansions and elaborate grounds during the last half of the Century. These tiles with old patina that remains to the surface , whether it may have been made in America or imported for a southern residence, it is a handsome Architectural accent .
What an elegant way to add an authentic Victorian flavor to your property. Whether you are remodeling, or even starting new construction.
The marble can be picked up locally in MONTGOMERY ALABAMA
