Travertine Dining Tables

Wine and Dine on a Vintage Travertine Dining Table

Transform your dining space with a luxurious travertine table. Beloved for its warm earthy tones and sleek finish, travertine is an underrated home decor material that’s come back in a big way. Travertine is a type of limestone formed by a process of rapid precipitation of carbonate minerals typically around geothermally heated hot springs. Typically hailing from the mountains of Italy, travertine has been used to build the Colosseum in Rome, the Getty Center in Los Angeles, and the Shell-Haus in Berlin—clearly, the material hasn’t been taken for granite in the architectural world. Travertine’s use in furniture was majorly popular in Italy in the ‘70s, but has made a resurgence partly due to their recent ubiquity. While Italy once held the only known travertine quarries, more quarries have been discovered in Turkey, Iran, Mexico, and Peru since the ‘80s. With its creamy hues and commanding shape, travertine tables add instant texture to a dining room, while also acting as a more subdued, grounding piece. Because of its neutral color, these tables pair well with any style. Match travertine dining room tables with chairs made from rattan, wood, or even more stone, and you’ll still achieve an elegant and purposeful dining space. Additionally, because of their hefty size and weight, travertine dining tables elevates the importance of a room and makes it feel purposeful. Embrace the unshakeable nature of a travertine dining table and make your dining experience as refined and storied as travertine itself is.
