Bits of old marble

Update: the marble is already spoken for! I’ll remove this post in a few days.

 

This is not really a blog post, just a place for people to come and see the picture.

I have heard it said that marble has become so expensive that people are even stealing name-plaques off walls and that kind of thing. So maybe somebody would like this?

There are between 25 and 30 pieces of marble. Many of them are about a metre long or slightly more, but some are shorter. They are generally either about 3/4 inch or about 1.5 inches thick, and mostly between 6 inches and a foot wide. It is whitish, with a pale grey marbling. The majority are more or less rectangular, but some have corners cut off or diagonal ends. A few have residues of cement clinging to them, and I assume they were taken out of a kitchen or something similar when this house was refurbished a few years ago.

If anybody wants them you can have them for nothing, but there are two conditions: the first is that you come and fetch them yourself (it’s a few minutes away from the Pontremoli autostrada access); the second is that you take all of them at one go.

Any takers?
