Lower Terrace Travertine Tile
Lower Terrace Travertine Tile
These engraved pieces of travertine are reclaimed from the original 1951 lower terrace of The Farnsworth House and are available in a limited edition.
The material was quarried in Italy c1949, shipped to the United States and cut to size by a stonecutter in Missouri. They were then shipped north by rail and trucked to the site for installation in 1950. The same thickness of travertine was used inside and out, but during the 2021 restoration, the lower terrace was redesigned for thicker travertine. This is a limited time opportunity. The remaining reclaimed travertine will be used for art and other products but this is the first release of this historic material.
Each tile is handsomely packaged in a branded box.
One tile per person/purchaser.
Approx.. measurements W 6.5" x H 4.25" x D 1.25"
