Briche d Alep Marble:
Extracted originally in the commune of Tholonet in Bouches-du-Rhône, a striking stone from a few specific areas in France and historically has had a strong French appeal. It was first quarried in the early 18th century as it was very popular at the time for use in furniture and fireplaces, especially in the Rococo style. Due to the highly sought after status, Breche d’Alep has been largely depleted in France.
