ALABSTER TILES

PRODUCTION

The transparency of alabaster is such that both natural and artificial light can pass through it easily, giving rise to visual effects of exquisite beauty. To make the most of the translucent properties of alabaster, we also custom-make tiles for fireplaces, doorways, false ceilings, windows, etc. to your specific designs.

SCULPTURE

In addition to the uses made of it in the lighting industry, and the objets d'art crafted by the great artisans of Volterra, over the last decade there has been a marked increase in the use of alabaster for sculpture.
This is a material that – given its particular smoothness and density – is a great deal more workable than marble. Once a suitable unfinished block has been selected, the artist can sculpt it easily into shape using the appropriate tools.
