Antique marble elements and reclaimed pieces for high-end projects Antique marble recovery in Turin
Helix has been involved for years in the recovery of antique marble for construction and interior/exterior design. Each piece is salvaged from historic buildings, Piedmontese farmhouses, and period villas during carefully controlled dismantling operations, with particular attention paid to preserving the original patina and artisanal detailing.
Our focus is on authentic elements made from natural marble, hand-worked between the late 19th and early 20th centuries—true witnesses to the architecture and craftsmanship of their time. These are unique pieces, ready to be repurposed in conservative restoration projects, charming building recoveries, historic gardens, country villas, farm stays, or culturally valuable public spaces.
Reclaimed marble – Period marble fountains
Hand-sculpted ornamental and functional fountains, perfect for historic gardens and rustic courtyards
Among Helix’s most requested reclaimed marble items are antique fountains. Carved from white, grey, or pink marble, these fountains are often hand-sculpted, featuring floral motifs, classical decorations, or geometric patterns typical of late 19th–early 20th-century architecture.
They are ideal for placement in private parks, outdoor areas of historic homes, rural courtyards, manor villas, or restored public squares. These fountains offer timeless charm to those seeking a decorative and functional piece that elevates any space.
Antique marble wells
Recovered ornamental wells in natural marble from rural and historical settings
The antique marble wells recovered by Helix come from rural courtyards, noble gardens, and early 20th-century urban spaces. They are often composed of monolithic carved blocks, with rounded or moulded frames and sometimes enhanced with wrought iron arches.
Each well is unique and tells a story. Reintegrating it into a vintage sustainable building project or rustic decor adds value to architectural restoration—offering both functionality and beauty rooted in tradition.
