Gallery ResourcesFor thousands of years, stone has been the building material of choice to create structures that endure for generations. Our artisans continue in that tradition to bring you Old World Flagstone, a selection of premium natural stone products, quarried and processed to the highest standards.
Is Old World Flagstone the Perfect Fit for Your Project?
Selecting Old World Flagstone for your project means embracing its timeless charm while considering a few key details.
-
Embrace Natural Variations
Natural flagstone typically has a much greater range of colors and veining compared to manufactured pavers or concrete products. Samples and photos of small areas cannot fully capture the complete range of colors. Additionally, as products are quarried, colors will vary over time as different veins are processed. These inherent variations enhance the unique beauty and character of natural stone, making them key considerations for your project planning. -
Appreciate Imperfections
Unlike manufactured products, natural flagstone features a wider array of variations and imperfections. Colors fluctuate based on the quarried raw material, and mineral deposits may introduce further distinctions. These natural traits contribute to the material's authentic charm and appeal, but they should be considered carefully when selecting natural flagstone for your project. -
Understand Sizes and Tolerances
All Old World Flagstone products are offered in nominial sizes and vary slightly in size and thickness as a result of the quarrying and manufacturing processes. All products also have a squareness tolerance. Please visit our sizes and tolerances page for more information. -
Dealer Locations
Most of our dealers are based in the Eastern United States, though we also have select dealers in other regions and some offering online sales. Be prepared for higher shipping costs if ordering from outside the Eastern U.S., depending on your location.
We encourage you to explore our Frequently Asked Questions page for answers to common questions you may have. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact us or your local dealer.

Important Information
Saltwater Pools
Because salt water may have a deteriorating effect on stone, paver, and concrete surfaces over long term exposure, we advise against using any natural flagstone or concrete products around saltwater pools.
Ice Melt Products
We recommend that you avoid using high concentrations of rock salt or similar ice melt products on Old World Flagstone products. If an area must be de-iced, a product intended for safe use on concrete is recommended.
Sealing Flagstone
Under normal conditions, Old World Flagstone does not need to be sealed to maintain durability. If you wish to use a sealer on Old World Flagstone, please consult the sealer manufacturer to confirm that it is suitable for use with natural sandstone and limestone.
