What is yellow sienna marble?

Yellow sienna marble is a distinctively patterned decorative stone quarried in Tuscany, Italy, featuring a rich ochre-yellow ground with dark branching veins. Craftsmen prized it for luxury decorative objects and furniture throughout the nineteenth century, particularly during the Neoclassical and Grand Tour periods.

How do I care for yellow sienna marble?

Clean the stone using a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth without harsh chemical detergents that can strip the polished surface. Keep acidic liquids away from the marble to prevent etching, and protect the stone base if placing heavy metal objects on top.

Where were these pieces made?

Many items originated in Italian workshops catering to travellers on the Grand Tour, while French and British cabinetmakers also imported the stone. Parisian foundries frequently combined the Tuscan marble with cast bronze and ormolu for mantel clocks and garnitures.

How do I identify a Regency period piece?

Regency items often display strict classical restraint, utilising clean architectural lines, patinated bronze figures and restrained ormolu mounts. They date from the early nineteenth century and lean heavily on ancient Greek and Roman design motifs.
