Travertin lamp base square

Description

Travertine lamp base, available in different shapes. Please note: travertine is a natural stone, so not all lamp bases are exactly the same.

Travertine Collection
Travertine is often used as a building material. It typically lacks planes of weakness, and its high porosity makes it light in weight for its strength, gives it good thermal and acoustic insulating properties, and makes it relatively easy to work. Dense travertine makes excellent decorative stone when polished. The Colosseum is the oldest and largest work ever made in roman travertine. Also known as the Flavius Amphitheater, it housed the games of ancient Rome, such as the fights between gladiators.

Material
One of the most distinctive and preferred features of travertine is its weathered and rustic look, which makes it the perfect stone if you want to recreate this romantic atmosphere at your home. As it is a porous stone, it is offered in two variants – filled and unfilled. The filled ones are smoother, more durable and have a more modern look compared to the natural porous ones. The finishing is also important as it highlights one or another quality of this excellent material. There are usually four types of finishes that are applied to travertine – honed, polished, brushed and tumbled. Polished travertine is bright and shiny and very smooth. It will reflect light in amazing way and sometimes it is even mistaken for marble with this finish. Honed travertine, on the other hand, is the most preferred option. The surface is still polished but not to a glossy bright extent but left matt. This type of finish is closer to the natural look of the stone.

Maintenance
This lamp base does not require any special maintenance, except that you can dust it occasionally with a dry cloth.
