Ancient Surfaces said...

When you're ready Mary we'll bring Tuscany to you and not the other way around!
1- Our favorite thing is to restore an ancient Tuscan or French country farmhouse that has fell into ruin after surviving hundreds of man and nature not to mention, revolutions, and two world wars...
2- When we can't restore them fully or partially we reclaim those wonderful and once forgotten ancient pieces that have been soaking under the Tuscan sun for centuries.
3- There's something holy about reclamation. It’s like when you're about to write those stone elements off and as they're about to become one with mother earth something Biblical happens! Just like the rise of the Phoenix from the ashes or like Jesus from death the unenviable takes place; At the 11th hour death and fear looses and righteousness prevails! Those items became legendary when they take on a new form an immortal one in a way, as long as they're looked after by generations of people who love them and open their living rooms or front yards for them, making them their fireplaces, fountains or even powder room sinks…
