> Bravo to both owners Jon and Tony you guys rock, the best is yet to come! **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > What a beauty! Thanks for this wonderful (overdue) review! > After you hit the 15th job mark with someone you technically become Family (whether you like it or Not!). > Here's to another six years Brother! We're just warming up. ### All 40 reviews **★★★★★ — Apple Furr, Jan. 2025** > Oh my… I don’t even know where to start. I saw this beautiful range hood in a magazine and fell in love. We bought an Italian Villa and it seriously needed this range hood. I did my research and found that Ancient Surfaces hand carves them. Living in Pennsylvania how was I going to make all of this work? The hood would be traveling from Europe to my kitchen in PA. Sounds wild I spoke with the owner, Toni, and he reassured me it could be done. From our first conversation to present, Toni was so knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. He helped me every step of the way. He was always just a phone call away. Nervous about the whole process, but willing to try to make it happen. I trusted in Toni, and read the previous reviews which were wonderful. Boy am I glad I did!!! We just had the range hood installed, and it is absolutely beautiful!!! It’s truly a statement piece and such a conversation piece. > Love, Love, Love it! So, So,So HAPPY. > Thank you, Toni > Angela from Pennsylvania **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you for the Kind words Angela!! > We had a Blast working with you on your Project. > Thanks, Tony Benetti **★★★★★ — Gayle Olson, Dec. 2023** > Tony has been amazing helping me with finding antique stone for our bathroom and floors. They have incredible pieces, design ideas, and great customer service! Thank you Tony! **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thnak you Gayle!! > It was really nice working with you on your Project. **★★★★★ — Arian Ellis, July 2023** > We used Tony at Ancient Surfaces to create our fountain and it turned out better than we expected. Beautiful work! And excellent to deal with! **★★★★★ — HU-375746219, Jan. 2023** > My experience with Ancient surfaces is unbelievable, I bought the most Gorgeous Stone sinks and iron mirror with matching iron light sconces for my guest bathroom that I have ever seen. They have so many products to choose from and their craftsmanship is awesome. I’m looking forward to ordering another piece of stone product in the future. I recommend Ancient Surfaces very highly. Thank you, patty White **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you Patty!! > It was such a Pleasure working with you as well. > > Sincerely, > Tony Benetti **★★★★★ — HU-376091409, May 2022** > Tony at AncientSurfaces was honest, enthusiastic and extremely helpful as we selected a large centerpiece fountain as a signature feature at our home. Not only did Tony patiently walk us through the selection process but he also recommended a contractor who ultimately helped us with a professional installation. My wife’s remark that she was very happy and all exceeded expectations summarized it best. Thanks Tony! **★★★★★ — Paul S, Aug. 2020** > An amazing and reliable resource for products to use in interior and building architecture. Great prices and service for items collected world wide. A unique opportunity for me as an interior architect. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you Paul for such a lovely review. We'll never settle for anything other than the best for your clients even in the middle of a storm or a pandemic. **★★★★★ — Ed & Julie Young, July 2020** > Last October, 2019, we met the stone mason that would be re-tiling our bathrooms. While there, he saw that we needed our fireplace replaced. "I can do that, too." he said. Great. Problem solved. > Until it wasn't. > In March we were told he couldn't do it and would have to enlist a company from Italy to make it. Could take 5-6 months (because of Covid-19). I didn't want a gaping hole for another (possible) year. So I went on the internet and found Ancient Surfaces. Liked what I saw on the website and talked to Tony. I liked him and got my wife to talk to him. Long story short we selected a mantel and hearth that day. It was installed 11 days later by true craftsman. Tony came through with everything he said he would do. And he's a nice guy! > Now, we are enjoying our 16th Century Antique limestone mantel and hearth (amazing!). Would I recommend and use Ancient Surfaces again? > Absolutely! You will be thrilled if you do, too. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Ed & Julie, It was such a pleasure doing business with you guys, I really enjoyed all the conversations we had and Most importantly the end result. > I Love how cool your Antique Mantle Turned out. > > Thank you for your Business, > Tony Benetti **★★★★★ — Helen Sun, April 2020** > Tony is a true professional. I started contacting him more than a year ago when I first started looking for fireplace mantel. Being the homeowner who never did a fireplace remodel project before, it can be overwhelming and I had a lot of questions. Tony patiently answered all of them. His expertise and attention to detail have exceed my expectations. He is responsive and reliable and truly amazing. After many Q&A sessions, he helped us pick one out of the two that we really love. We purchased a mantel from him which arrived in December. The carving on the stone and workmanship is superb. We are so happy with our new fireplace. Thank you, Tony! **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you for all your Trust Helen!! > We Truly enjoyed working on your project, > I'm sharing a couple Photos of your Installed Limestone Mantle. > > Sincerely, > Tony Benetti **★★★★★ — HU-843100061, Feb. 2020** > Tony from Ancient Surfaces has been extremely honest, open, helpful, professional , and assisting In helping pick and choose the best limestone mantle for our home. From start to finish ,and I mean not just dropping the mantle off at the door, but working with the contractors in giving them strategies to safely and luxuriously construct our mantle to perfection! Quality and work has been A plus!!! **★★★★★ — Kris Hamlin, Feb. 2020** > The owner Tony Benetti is very professional and helpful. He guarantees his product and stands behind it. I ordered both a limestone kitchen mantel and limestone fireplace from him. The limestone fireplace has become a conversation piece for our home. It is of the highest quality and is beautiful. Pictured below is the limestone kitchen mantel. **★★★★★ — elaine4121, Oct. 2019** > Absolutely amazing and gorgeous results and entirely unique. Tony takes personal care to provide a seamless process from design and product selection through delivery and advice on proper installation. I am in California and he is in NY but always there to guide. > The 700 year old came in 3 days and no breakage as packed in crates with care. And to get first cut stone in 5/8 thickness was a miracle. > A truly fabulous project. Even the installers were excited to see such beauty and the compliments are flowing! **★★★★★ — Phil Feldsine, June 2019** > Tony was a joy to work with. I bought 6 fireplace surrounds from Ancient Surfaces. All were based on historically correct fireplaces that Tony had procured throughout Europe; however they all required customization to adapt to my home. Tony was flexible and easy to work with. He even sent extra limestone just in case we needed it. > > You won't be unhappy. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you Phil for your deep appreciation for our craft and your stellar recommendation for our company and products. Here's to 6 more for your next project! **★★★★★ — valeriewey, Dec. 2018** > I have been in contact with Tony from Ancient surfaces for the past 5 years. Our project to build a home and garden took longer than expected but Tony remained pleasant and very patient. This past May we were finally able to order the fountain and a very large planter. The product is beautiful. Tony has been very professional and very informative as to how to install everything and care for both of our beautiful pieces. With no doubt I will work again with Tony and his company. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you Valery, your lovely testimonial means a lot to us. After you connect with someone for years on end you develop a friendship with them and hope that the unique products you provide them with will be there for them for as long as they live in their custom homes. Hope you and your love ones will enjoy our stone elements year over year. **★★★★★ — John Carr, Dec. 2018** > Just ordered 2 hand carved keystone to match ones stolen and damaged from a job site recently. Sent them photos and dimensions and they matched the old keystones. They are so beautiful and our customer will be pleased that they arrived so quickly with being airfreighted. Tony with Ancient Surfaces handled everything and was easy to deal with. Photos show the old one damaged which we were lucky to have to show the exact details. These weren't cheap but you get what you pay for. Being hand carved in France with air freight took about 6 weeks to receive. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you for your vote of confidence John. We aim for nothing less than perfection specially when we are called upon to hand carve an exact replica of an original. **★★★★★ — Diane Hahn, Dec. 2018** > My experiences with Tony at Ancient Surfaces have been top rate. He has been extremely responsive, knowledgeable, helpful and patient throughout the process. He provided numerous pictures to make the selection process easier and when I shared my vision of the project, he was also helpful in providing additional suggestions and offering advice about the vast product choices. From the planning and selection phase to the final delivery of the product, it has been a positive experience, with no unforseen complications. It was a great collaborative process and I couldn't be more pleased with the choice. It is a truly unique piece of history and impressive sink that will be sure to be enjoyed and appreciated. Now trying to find another room in my house that needs another architectural treasure. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a special item for their next home project. Thank you so much. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > The ancient sink looks so good in that photo. I am thrilled so see how it perfectly juxtaposed with the contemporary counters and cabinetry its flanked by. Bless you for this sincere testimonial dear Diane. Looking forward to the next one. **★★★★★ — Pamela Mudd, Oct. 2018** > We bought an ancient limestone sink from them. They were very professional to work with, very responsive, and the item arrived very well-packaged and as requested. I had requested a drain hole be drilled in the sink, and it was also perfectly executed. I would highly recommend working with them! **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you Pam, > It was a Pleasure Working with you as well. > This Antique Farmhouse Sink looks Perfect in your Space. **★★★★★ — Mary Zimmer, May 2018** > I purchased from this company a 17th century inlaid marble sink from Italy, and a 17th century limestone bench, also from Italy. They are both absolutely beautiful pieces! Tony was extremely helpful. And they have many different types of products. In addition to ancient or antique benches and sinks, they have both old and new fountains, fireplaces, entryways, stone wells,tile and marble flooring, etc. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > We are absolutely speechless. Photos worthy of Architectural Digest, Veranda and interior design magazine... > We are so happy for you and thrilled about how everything merged and meshed together so seamlessly. > A definite textbook case study setting indeed. > Love everything in your photos please send more if you ever get to it. > Blessings. **★★★★★ — Bee Madonna, Feb. 2018** > I had a wonderful experience with Tony and Ancient Surfaces on our recent home project. > He was extremely helpful with all of my questions and concerns and choosing the right products/materials for my home. I ended up purchasing ancient limestone flooring, countertop slabs, fireplace mantel and sink and I couldn’t be happier! Absolutely stunning, unique pieces! > I highly recommend Ancinet Surfaces. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > We are so grateful for this lovely and inspiring review dear Bee. Working with you was such an enjoyable experience Tony told me. He really loved your style and how you ended up incorporating the stone throughout key focal points in your home. > How we'd love to see some snapshots of some installed items and floors. The fireplace you selected was also a stunning piece. > Welcome to our family. **★★★★★ — Paul Asdourian, Nov. 2017** > When I decided to build my retirement home I knew it had to be unique. In researching building materials I came across the Ancient Surfaces web site. I reached out and spoke with Tony and gave him my vision. With his hands on input I picked out a unique entryway, wall and floor cladding, an indoor and outdoor fireplace, antique sink, and outdoor fountain. I received 60 crates of materials on time. Each crate was meticulously packed with no breakage. The items that had to be reconfigured were clearly marked and my stone mason had no difficulty putting the pieces back together. The end result is a new home with a "soul" due great part to the authenticity of the materials I used. It is the most unique home my builder has constructed in over 30 years. Despite being told by my colleagues that building a new home can be a nightmare, Ancient Surfaces made the process seamless. I would have no reservation in using this company in the future and recommend them to my friends. It is a pleasure to write this review for them since in this day and age finding companies who do what they say they will do is becoming increasingly rare. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Paul is Family, enough said... > He deserved nothing short of our absolute best and we gave his project our 200%. > Paul's home is for the books, Literally speaking, for the Books! > What a journey we've been on... > Take good care dear brother. > Tony. **★★★★★ — peggy Lieber, Oct. 2017** > Worked with Toni on getting stone for our floors. He provided everything we needed and made the process very easy. We couldn't ask for more! > Love, love, love my floors. Great quality and service. We Highly recommend this company. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you for this phenomenal review Peggy! > Toni says hi to you! > We're wondering if it's possible for you to attach a few photos of your finished floor for us right here in the review section. > Thank you for your business and welcome to our ever growing family of satisfied customers. **★★★★★ — Den Burr, July 2016** > Ancient Surfaces are a class act, they deliver on their promise, their craftsmanship is superb, and the product is stunning. We had a beautiful replica of a 17th century French Provincial Fountain carved out of limestone by their Master carvers in Marseilles, France. Tony is the best and he will take care of your project. Remember this is like a piece of art when they are done and plan ahead as it will take time to carve your piece and then ship it from France. Well worth the time for a very unique piece. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > A thousand thanks Den. Your hexagonal hand carved limestone fountain looks stunning in its surroundings. You can immediately see how transformative to your backyard it is. > I am super exited for you and am humbled by your heart felt comments. We strive at Ancient Surfaces to give nothing short of our 100% every single time. Bless you friend and welcome to our family. **★★★★★ — goslo, April 2016** > We purchased an outdoor stone fountain and a carved marble sink. The process took several months during which time we made several revisions. All were handled with aplomb and utmost courtesy. Items arrived on schedule and in great condition yesterday. We recommend Tony and Ancient Surfaces and would buy from them again. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you Mark! > What a powerful testimonial. We truly appreciate it. Your pieces were phenomenal indeed! Looking forward to further working together. We would love to see a couple of photos of your finished project if it's possible.. > Tony **★★★★★ — Katy Bader, Feb. 2016** > I bought an antique fireplace from Ancient Surfaces. It is beautiful and so is their customer service. They even helped with the installation over the phone. Awesome company!!! **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Hi Katy, > Thank you so much for your business dear. It is people like yourself who appreciate real quality and real beauty that keep our doors open. You are most welcome. > As you witnessed first hand we are all about helping our clients to the fullest and would go the extra mile to make sure that our products are optimized and well appointed in their homes. **★★★★★ — Julie Mederos, Nov. 2015** > I am doing a large renovation of my home (total project over $100k) and needed the "perfect" floors. We are installing a large scale sliding door which opens up the entire wall of our family room to create an indoor/outdoor living space and our dream was a uniform floor indoor/outdoor so that it was truly seamless. We have an outdoor spa so we require a non-slippery surface. I saw the millennium planks on Houzz in an indoor/outdoor application and I fell in love. I called them and was immediately called back by Tony Bennetti. I was scared to ask about the price of the stone because the photographs on line were amazing. It is not inexpensive but frankly I was pleasantly surprised. It is a tremendous value considering the market for other less desirable local stone (DFW Metroplex) options and also far superior in aesthetics. I was very nervous because purchasing off of the internet is frightening and I needed more than 2000 square feet. > > I asked Tony for two samples which he promptly sent to me. Ancient Surfaces will tell you that the stones are very durable because of their age and also the quality of the type of stone. I won't try to repeat the story on Olithic limestone (Tony's version is too good to attempt a repeat) but I was a skeptic that they didn't need a sealant and that they would last. Limestone is not known to be durable. I doubt anyone done a more stringent test on these floors than my husband. My husband poured wine, ketchup, jelly and a variety of oils. in fact, he scrubbed the items into the stone and then let them sit for hours before washing them off. It turned into a bit of a contest at some point. I literally could not spot the location. Obviously not planning on incurring this type of damage but I also feel very confident that Tony is right about this stone. We also called references which were all glowing. We purchased 2150 square feet and just received the stone! > > I was incredibly nervous because it was a very large amount of stone and I was purchasing it off of the internet. The delivery was exactly as promised both for the amount of time that it would take to receive the product and packaging. There was no breakage which is a testament to the very impressive packaging. The stones are arranged in the crates so that there is a variance in the size and colors. This is imperative so that when the stone is installed it is uniform throughout the large project. We inspected all 6 crates and it is amazing. We put out the first portion of the floor and it absolutely looks better than in the pictures. The builder was happy that it was extremely easy to install. Trust me - the pictures do not do it justice. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of extremely long planks (60") and that these were not broken. The stone has the perfect amount of variance both in color and in size which is what makes it so unique and beautiful. The width is uniform but the length went from 18" to 60". It is unique. I love that it is absolutely not slippery which makes it perfect for the indoor/outdoor use. Beautiful doesn't quit describe it. > > The customer service for this company is impressive. I called Tony with so many questions along the way. He is readily available, responsive and informative. He believes in his product and I can see why. I highly recommend Ancient Surfaces. If anyone needs more information, Tony can give you my number. I would be glad to help you fee comfortable with this company. I will post pictures when the home is finished!!! **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > We are speechless and humbled by your review of us and of our Millennium Limestone. Heart felt reviews such as yours are like priceless boxes of gems that you never wanna part with. No financial compensation comes even close to the emotional compensation we get from a job well done while witnessing first hand the tangible transformation that our antique Limestone Floors triggers in our clients home sweet home and (if I dare to say) 'Joie De Vivre'. > Thank you for believing in us and welcome to the Ancient Surfaces family of friends. > Love, Peace, Health & Happiness. > > Sincerely yours, > Tony Benetti. **★★★★★ — kellypannell, Oct. 2015** > Ancient Surfaces did an incredible job helping us select from an amazing variety of reclaimed antique European limestone fireplaces. They were professional, knowledgeable and the fireplace arrived safely and on time. It has become the centrepiece of our library and is absolutely gorgeous. I would have no reservations recommending Ancient Surfaces to anyone looking for a remarkable piece of history for their home. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you Kelly for your kind words and your warm review, we really appreciate it. > This photo tells us a story of a passion pursuit for authentic architectural design that was only achieved through meticulous research, planning and realization. > The Craftsmen you've commissioning must have been of the highest caliber as well. > Congrats and thank you again. > You made our week! **★★★★★ — jodyhthomas, Oct. 2015** > When remodeling my kitchen, I got it into my head that I wanted thick chunky limestone slabs for my bar countertop. I came upon Ancient Surfaces and Eureka! Exactly what I was looking for! The fact that these slabs have a history, and are essentially indestructible, was a bonus! I called the phone number on the website to ask some questions, and was surprised when Tony took an unprecedented amount of time to talk me through the process and the attributes of using his slabs. I asked about the stone sinks (seriously, this stuff is so cool) and Tony found me an antique one that would match my bar top slabs and fit perfectly in my limited space. The only downside is that it takes a while for the product to sail across the sea and land in Southern California, but SO WORTH THE WAIT!! Tony was able to precut and finish the counter slabs to fit my exact dimensions. Another slight drawback is that the color is a bit unpredictable (my sink was much "whiter" than the photo had depicted and the three slabs aren't "exactly" matching one another), but it is still crazy beautiful. I am NOT disappointed at all... In fact... It all adds to the natural rustic beauty of these unique show stopping pieces. My new kitchen Is a work of art and Ancient Surfaces made the process of bringing my vision to light a breeze. Go for it - take the leap of faith... You'll be really glad you did!! **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Thank you Jody for your brilliant testimonial and thank you for allowing us to play a role in your creative kitchen design vision. > We had an incredibly fun time creating something so beautiful together. Seeing how raw and bold antique stone elements can come together to form a masterpiece kitchen is simply exhilarating. For all of you potential clients reading this, believe me when I tell you that mere words can not describe the final sense of accomplishment you will get from defying the status quo of mundane design when you step into the world of reclaimed stone customization. Thank you Jody for taking that leap of faith with us we are so glad you did. **★★★★★ — lornagoode, July 2015** > I found 2 beautiful antique fireplaces on Ancient Surfaces website and just fell in love with them. Unfortunately the antique ones were way out of my budget. > In discussions with them they said they could exactly replicate the ones I had seen and hand carve them from lime stone and then Antique them. > See the result for yourself!! WOW exactly what I had hoped for, for less than half the cost of the Antique ones. I just LOVE them and I will have Ancient Surfaces do the one for my master bedroom as well. **Comment from Ancient Surfaces:** > Stunning! Thank you for sharing those lovely images with the rest of us dear. > It was a real pleasure working with you from start to finish. We are so pleased to see the fruits of our labor turning into such an elegant and transformative design statement. **★★★★★ — vivpo designs, June 2015** > I used ancient surfaces on a remodel in southern Ca. The first time I spoke with Tony I was impressed by his knowledge and patience. > Not being able to physically see the product I was concerned that it would not look the way it did in the photos. > I purchased the Biblos stone,a new fountain and a new fireplace. > Everything was exceptional!! > Tony was always available for questions or concerns. > I highly recommend this company and I intend to use them again for future projects **★★★★★ — stevens66, June 2015** > Great experience all the way around. The stone flooring (1400 square feet) and rough faced stone (kitchen range alcove)are authentic and breathtaking. The product and price point cannot be matched. Tony is a fantastic owner and has an unparalleled reponsiveness to any inquiry. He checked in with me before I had any questions about the products I received. After 25 years in construction with countless projects through my office this has been one of the finest relationships. Thanks Tony! **★★★★★ — DeeAnne Howe, May 2015** > Tony Benetti at Ancient Surfaces was a pleasure to work with. I purchased numerous custom limestone pieces for a project on the West Coast and Tony delivered over and above my expectations. Fountain, door surround, stairs and mantle all arrived from France beautifully crated and carved exactly to specifications.
