Convent Giallo di Siena marble is mined from Provincia di Siena, Toscana, Italy.
The famous egg yolk marble of Siena had been used extensively all across Italy and France, since at least the 16th century. The best stone come from the Senese Mountains and is the most highly prized of all the Siena marbles and can be dark or pale yellow in appearance. The name Convent derives from the Convent of Montarrenti which used to own the lands on which the stone was quarried. The marble in this antique fireplace almost certainly comes from there with small clasps of deep violet matrix.
Major uses:
The U.S. Supreme Court in Washington D.C. has twenty four columns of Siena marble in the inner court chamber.
