Natural travertine stone for everyday use
This natural travertine soap holder is shaped from a single piece of real limestone, then hand-polished and edged with care. You receive a unique slice of stone with subtle veins and tiny pores that differ from piece to piece. This is not a flaw but the signature of the stone, so you can be sure no other holder will look exactly like yours.
How can you use it at home?
This flat travertine dish works as a soap holder, a small candle base, a ring tray or a holder for tea light candles. In the bathroom next to the sink it keeps the bar soap dry, because the stone naturally absorbs the extra moisture. In the kitchen on the window sill, with a small candle, it gives a soft, warm glow in the evening.
Exact size and weight
The travertine dish measures 15 cm long, 7.5 cm wide and 1 cm thick, and weighs 245 g. This solid weight makes sure the dish does not slide even when you place wet soap on it or light a candle inside. The natural shade ranges from creamy white to soft sand.
How do you care for the surface?
Travertine is a porous stone, so it is best kept dry. If you use it under soap, wipe it once a day with a soft cloth so soap residue does not dry on the surface. Do not use any detergent; lukewarm water and a sponge are enough. A pinch of baking soda helps with stubborn marks.
Why is this piece a good choice for you?
Travertine has been used for thousands of years, think of the Roman baths or the stones of the Colosseum. You receive a small slice of this enduring tradition, hand-picked and polished by our French partner. It also makes a thoughtful gift, because it lasts, it is natural and it never goes out of style.
