Description

A Masterpiece of History: Vieux Bourgogne Limestone Ancient Finish

Capture the prestigious, time-worn soul of a historic French estate with the Vieux Bourgogne Limestone Ancient Finish by Ca' Pietra.

A definitive highlight of our Natural Stone Collection, this limestone is the closest possible match to genuine reclaimed flagstones. The Ancient Finish is achieved through a meticulous hand-finishing process, resulting in heavy "pillowed" edges and a deeply textured surface that carries the weight of history. The palette is an organic blend of beige, cream, and atmospheric grey, offering a V3 high variation that creates an evocative, non-uniform floor full of character.

Supplied in 500mm widths with random lengths and a substantial 20mm thickness, these flagstones allow for an authentic, traditional installation. Whether you are transforming a heritage renovation or adding architectural depth to a new build, the Vieux Bourgogne Ancient collection provides a floor that feels as though it has been part of the building for generations.

The Hyperion Family Promise

  • Artisan Craftsmanship - We supply the hand-finished Ancient series from Ca' Pietra, ensuring the pillowed edges and surface textures meet the highest heritage standards.
  • Atmospheric Tonal Depth - Each crate contains a wide mix of earthy tones, providing the authentic shimmer of natural limestone across large open-plan spaces.
  • Underfloor Heating Ready - Natural stone is the ultimate thermal mass; these flagstones retain heat for long periods, providing efficient and cozy radiant warmth.
  • Invest in Longevity - This is solid natural stone that will last for decades, developing a unique, prestigious patina with every year of use.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Sealing: This natural stone must be protected. We recommend an impregnating sealer like LTP Mattstone to guard against stains while maintaining the natural Ancient finish.
  • Grout: For a historically accurate look, use a wide grout joint (approx. 6-10mm) and a traditional Limestone or Ivory grout colour to complement the pillowed edges.
  • Dry-Laying: Due to the V3 variation, always dry-lay stones from multiple crates before fixing to ensure a balanced spread of beige and grey tones.
  • Maintenance: Clean only with pH-neutral stone soaps. Avoid acidic supermarket cleaners which can damage the limestone and strip the sealer.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Ancient Finish different from the Weathered version?

The Ancient Finish is significantly more textured and "lived-in." While the Weathered finish offers a gentler aging, the Ancient style features heavily rounded, "pillowed" edges and a surface that feels deeply undulating. This intensive hand-finishing process ensures that no two stones look exactly alike, providing a truly authentic reclaimed appearance.

Is natural limestone easy to maintain in a kitchen?

Yes, provided it is correctly sealed. Because the Ancient Finish is already "pre-aged," it is incredibly forgiving in high-traffic areas like kitchens. Minor scratches or wear simply blend into the existing character of the stone. Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral stone soap will keep the surface protected and looking its best for decades.

How does this stone perform with underfloor heating?

Natural limestone is an exceptional thermal conductor. At 20mm thickness, these slabs act as a high-quality thermal mass, absorbing heat from your underfloor system and releasing it slowly and evenly. This makes it one of the most efficient and comfortable flooring choices for large open-plan living spaces.
