Saint Anne Des Pyrenees Marble
is an exquisite natural stone known for its elegant and dramatic appearance. Quarried in Arudy, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Pau, this marble is highly regarded for its unique coloration and striking veining patterns.
Ormolu – Gilt Bronze (from French ‘or moulu’, signifying ground or pounded gold) is an 18th-century English term for applying finely ground, high-carat gold in a mercury amalgam to an object of bronze. The mercury is driven off in a kiln leaving behind a gold-coloured veneer known as ‘gilt bronze’.
