For close to 200 years since 1836, the Grant family have worked marble, semi-precious stone and limestones. The Grant family married into the Halliday family and from then the last 3 generations of Hallidays have been running the business.
How it started
Our History
The company started off making fine marble items such as pen rests, marble clocks, ash trays, veneered jewellery boxes and gold and silverwork and much more.
Nowadays, we specialise in antique repair and restoration, and bespoke marblework. We also work alongside interior designers, silversmiths, architects and antique dealers all over the country and internationally.
