2ed showroom addition 2007.
Phoenician Stone principals Joseph and Ron Sage are proud grandsons.
The seeds of their family's business, architectural antique acquisitions, were planted back in the 1940's by their grandfather Joseph Sage, Sr. When World War II ended, he started his general contracting company. Contracts he secured included working in historical medieval alleyways along Ancient Roman and Grecian ruins.
Soon, his passion for architectural antiques turned into a family business that his grandsons and his family members in Europe still manage to this day.
Phoenician Stone, with locations in Corona Del Mar and Los Angeles, is more showroom than store.
The Corona Del Mar double-storefront space, soon to expand, is a sight for all history buffs to see. The flooring is a collection of pavers and stones, samples of what customers can purchase, that average in age from hundreds to thousands of years old.
Every piece offers a story about ancient times.
From the patina and textured centuries old fireplace mantles, fountains and sinks to their crusader era Biblical Stone flooring pavers.
Joseph Sage's grandsons are reliable narrators. Each majored in art history so that both would have intimate knowledge of Phoenician Stone products.
Clients include collectors of rare objects. Ron talks about a client in Monte Cedro whose entire estate was adorned with a limestone floor called biblical stone that dates back to circa 1192 A.D.
Phoenician Stone sells and installs products in five continents. Their various carving studios employ over 200 artists and carvers. Business is booming in both their Orange County and Los Angeles stores.
Since opening the Corona Del Mar store 4 years ago, the Sage brothers have noticed a dramatic change in local interest.
Phoenician Stone doesn't sell the stone per se, they sell the history and the culture behind it, which imbue their clients' environments with humanity and spirituality. For more information contact us at www.MonolithicStone.com or www.PhoenicianStone.com or by calling us at 949-759-6944
