Expanse by Aileen Fitzgerald Botanicals See the Sassi cave dwellings

See the Sassi cave dwellings etched into the mountainside of Matera

variations in veining and finish are not only expected but celebrated

This tray is a nod to a tropical still life painting

The mineral is not a hard stone and lends itself perfectly to intricate carving

each board bears the rich patina
