Mantel: 1490 Lambeth in Polished Travertine (filled)
Travertine is sedimentary rock, a form of limestone that is found near fresh hot water springs or limestone caves, formed by a process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate. Hot, carbon dioxide rich water passes through the stone, leaving it with pits and voids, giving travertine its characteristic honeycomb, fibrous texture. Known for its earthy, neutral tones, textured veins, and unique pits or holes, it is widely used in architecture and interior design for flooring, walls, and paving.
