Franca Round Travertine Dining Table

Yes! with appropriate sealing. Travertine for dining tables is supplied filled and honed (the pores are filled and the surface smoothed to a matte finish), making it practical for daily use. The key requirements are: seal on installation, reseal annually, clean with pH-neutral products, and wipe acidic spills promptly. Maintained this way, a travertine dining table is a very long-term investment — the material has been used in significant buildings for thousands of years.

Honed travertine has a smooth matte surface — no shine or reflection. Polished travertine has a glossy surface achieved through further grinding and buffing. For dining tables, honed is strongly recommended: it shows everyday use less readily, does not require re-polishing over time, and has a warmer, more contemporary aesthetic. The Franca is supplied in a honed finish.

Yes, we can make the Franca in any custom size. Email hello@elsahomeandbeauty.com.au with your requirements for a quote and lead time.

The travertine used in the Franca is sourced from established quarries and fabricated at our facilities in Carrara, Italy or Xiamen, China depending on production workload. Both facilities produce to the same specification and quality standard. Stone being a natural product, each slab will have its own unique veining, pore character, and tonal variation i.e: no two Franca tables are identical.

The Franca seats four comfortably, or six depending on the chairs you choose. Assembly is straightforward: the top fixes to the base with screws on the underside, and all fixings are supplied. At approximately 80–90kg, you'll want help moving it into place.
