Working with stone has been around forever. More recently however stone has been idolised as one of the most beautiful materials available to man, think David by Michaelangelo and you think of glorious stone masons in the hills of Italy.
As a craft stone masonry has often borne the task of creating grave stones, however many more applications suit the interior (and exterior) of any home if utilised right and the design sits well in the decor. Stone masons will often complete one off bespoke pieces, making this the perfect art for the interior designer commissioning the special finishing piece for a dining room or hallway.
Many of the practices and processes are largely unchaned over many centuries and stone masons enjoy regular work across a broad range of applications. Work by recommendation and portfolio when choosing a stone mason for a project, select your stone carefully as this is the most essential ingredient.
