For routine maintenance of the surfaces, always use neutral cleansers (for example, FILACLEANER or neutral soap). Do not in any case use harsh products that could irreparably damage the surface of the stone (such as acids or descaling products).
We strongly recommend that you do not place hot objects such as kettles or pans directly onto natural stone as it may cause discolouration or staining.
If your stone is exposed to “hard water” where there is a high mineral content, you will need to take a little extra care as the cleaning properties of the FILACLEANER or neutral detergent will be weakened. You will therefore need to use these products a little more frequently so that soap scum, lime scale and the like do not have the chance to build up and congeal.
Our stone leaves the factory untreated as the level and type of treatment will always depend on the context in which the stone is laid.
With each order we provide detailed installation instructions setting out directions for grouting, pre-treatment, gluing and final treatment.
Delivery The majority of products in our Walls & Floors and Bathroom collections are produced to order. Whilst this means a highly personalised product, it also requires additional time for production, quality control and bespoke packing. Delivery times are indicated on our website alongside the product. These are shown as a minimum-maximum indication and take into account production times and destination. If your order is made up of a number of products which require different amounts of time to produce, we may send items out at different times or all together, but we will advise you of this. For all items ordered from our Walls & Floors or Bathroom collections our delivery procedure is as follows: 1. We will send you an email confirming your order and we will organise delivery with one of our various shipping partners, depending on your location. 2. Once the shipping company collects your order from our premises in Tuscany, we will send you an email confirming this and we will provide you with contact details for the shipping company. 3. Our shipping partner will then contact you to organise the date your order will be delivered to the delivery address you specified at the time you placed your order. Delivery is intended to mean at street level and unless otherwise indicated, will take place from Monday to Friday during normal business hours (from 9 am to 6pm), excluding public holidays. Assembly We offer a comprehensive White Glove delivery service which includes delivery, assembly and the removal of all packaging. If you would like a personalised estimate, please contact our customer care team at customercare@salvatoriofficial.com.

Larger items or pieces made to order may not be returned. All products Walls & Floors and Bathroom collections are sold on a “no returns” basis as they are usually produced to order. Any product which CANNOT be returned will be clearly indicated by the phrase “This product is not covered by the Right to Cancel”. You will find it on the main page for that product, and also in your shopping cart. For those products where returns are permitted, you have 14 days in which to send them back. You will find instructions for doing with your order. Simply follow the instructions which are included with your purchase and ensure you use the return label provided. This service is free if you use the courier selected by Salvatori. Once we receive the product(s) back, we will check that it is in perfect condition. This means that they are in their original packaging, show no signs of usage or dirt, and include any labels or instruction leaflets which were provided with them. If we are satisfied that they are in the same condition as when we originally sent them we will process the refund or organise a replacement. This usually takes place within 3 – 5 working days once we have received a product back. We will then authorise a refund which will be made via the same means of payment originally used for your purchase. You should generally receive this within fourteen days of the goods being returned to Salvatori.
Lost Stones came about as part of Salvatori’s mission to reclaim and recycle as much material as possible and in the process, give it a new life and value. Its story started in 2019 during a conversation with Piero Lissoni in which we started thinking about how we might create a new destiny for abandoned, unloved stone, restoring it to its original splendour. Gabriele Salvatori and Lissoni embarked on a series of visits to storehouses and yards scattered all over Italy and discovered treasure troves of inestimable historic value, including the very stone used for Paris’s Notre Dame cathedral and marble left over from Mies Van Der Rohe’s famous Barcelona Pavilion. Drawing on the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi which has been used for centuries to repair broken ceramics, our artisans then filled every crack and imperfection with a gold-coloured resin, giving life to something truly special and unique in a reinterpretation of the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi used for centuries to repair broken ceramics. The Lost Stones texture is an evolution of the original project. Exclusively available on a made-to-measure basis, each slab is cut and finished with the precision of a bespoke garment, taking into account where it will be fitted and the type of stone chosen. In its Bianco Carrara version, Lost Stones brings an incredible luminosity and touch of restrained glamour to any space.

The small holes you may see on the surface are a natural characteristic of Bianco Carrara and should not be considered defects.
The images shown on this page are indicative of the colour and characteristics of our products but cannot be 100% representative. Being made from natural materials, every tile or slab is unique in terms of tonality, colour and characteristic.
These are all subject to variation depending on the type of stone and the conditions in the quarry from where it comes.
