These superb Italian Marble Coasters are created by Leo, an artisan producer in Verona who is
a direct descendent of the famous Lorenzi family of artists.
Inspired
by the beautiful frescos that adorn many of the buildings in his
hometown, Leo developed an innovative printing technique to reproduce
these paintings on marble.
The coasters, made from locally quarried
marble, measure 10 x 10 cm and we are pleased to offer a carefully
curated selection of the many different images available.
The image
is printed onto the surface of the marble using a combination of
proprietary inks and a special finishing process. Because they are
naturally slightly porous, the image is absorbed by the surface of the
stone so that it does not peel or flake.
Marble is a beautiful material to work with but the natural stone does include imperfections, including those caused by the cutting process which gives an appealing aged look making every coaster slightly unique.
The coasters are backed with cork to protect your furniture and can be cleaned with mild soap and water. They are not dishwasher safe as the image will be damaged.
