About Phoenician Stone
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. Old world relics, mantles, Roman and Byzantine mosaic flooring suspended on walls, columns from Corinthian Greece mixed with hand-carved replicas crafted by Phoenician Stone artisans fill up the well-lit space. Every piece offers a story about ancient times.
Joseph Sage's grandsons are reliable narrators. Each majored in art history so that both would have intimate knowledge of Phoenician Stone products.
Phoenician Stone products range from:
- Turnkey wine cellars, bathrooms and kitchen stone creations
- Tuscan farmhouse and villa style cladding
- Ancient limestone flooring from various eras
- Re-claimed limestone fireplace mantles - some over 600 years old!
- Antique stone entryways from the 16th century
- Interior ceiling meshed stones
- Kitchen backsplashes
- Inlaid shower floors
- Patio fountains
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.

Reviews about Phoenician Stone
Unsuspecting Consumers
Phoenician stone sells their products as reclaimed stone work from Cyprus. I just found out that they have been importing from China which is public record. See link. I would ask to see the import documentation before you spend any money there.

They are the best of the best
They are the best of the best, bar none!
Built my home in Laguna Beach a few years back and had filled
it with green reclaimed and antique building materials including
tiles, stones, mantles all from phoenician stone and the result looked great.
Terracotta Jars
Ron came to our home in Newport and measured our patio.
we then selected two ancient jars that they turned into a pool fountain for us!
It all turned out very nice,
Thank you Ron.
