Veined Grey Limestone Stair with a Rounded Starting Step

Shown at the foot of the flight, this reclaimed limestone stair is cut from a heavily veined silver grey stone shot through with darker mineral clouding, so no two treads carry the same figure. Treads and risers are both faced in it, and the run opens onto a broad rounded starting step that turns out past a sculptural black iron newel. Warm travertine paving sets the cool grey off sharply. Available to buy, this stair suits entrance halls, gallery staircases and contemporary interiors that want pattern held in the stone itself rather than applied ornament.
