The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A keystone is the wedge-shaped stone piece at the apex of a masonry arch, serving as the central structural block that locks all other stones into position.

19th-century keystones were traditionally carved from regional natural stones, including red sandstone, limestone, or granite, chosen for structural density and weather resistance.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-tooled carving marks, historic weathering, natural moss or lichen encrustation, and period-specific typographic inscriptions or dates.

A stone keystone can be styled as an architectural object on a fireplace mantelpiece, mounted as wall relief art, or incorporated into garden masonry.

Sandstone should be cleaned using a dry soft-bristled brush to remove surface soil, avoiding chemical solvents or high-pressure water that can degrade the weathered patina.
