antica the stone gallery

Antica The Stone Gallery. Antica is an Irish owned company specialising in exclusive materials such as Marble, Travertine, Sandstone and Limestone. Antica Bonacina Furniture Range, Bonacina Furniture is exclusive to Antica in Ireland. Antica works with Italian architect Lorenzo Polvani on a range of sinks, baths, furniture, candlesticks, soap holders, fruit holders, book ends, jewellery boxes and more. Some of Polvani's designs incorporate steel and glass as well as stone, such as a set of exotic free standing conical stone sinks, linked with glass. "The items are worked initially by machine, but are totally hand finished by a group known as Vaselli, a family that take the blocks of stone and produce the baths and sinks. We design the piece and they machine out the shapes, but finishing the materials takes a considerable time and must be done by hand.
