Travertine, carved by hand, 11.8 by 9.8 inches and under an inch thick. Warm-toned stone rather than cold — travertine has an open, sandy character that softens a room instead of sharpening it.

It was designed for a bathroom vanity and works anywhere a surface needs an edge: a bedside, an altar, an entryway for keys.

At a glance

  • Hand-carved travertine marble
  • 11.8" L x 9.8" W x 0.8" H
  • Warm stone tone, open natural texture
  • Vanity, bedside, altar or entryway
  • Each piece varies in color and pitting

How to use it

Use it to corral bottles, jars and small objects. On an altar it makes a defined working surface that keeps candle wax and stone dust off the furniture.

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Travertine is porous — a stone sealer once a year is worth the ten minutes if it lives in a bathroom.

✨ Temple Tip

Travertine takes wax marks more readily than dense marble. If you burn candles on it, put them on a small metal or glass coaster and the tray stays clean for years.

Questions we get asked

How big is it?

11.8 by 9.8 inches, 0.8 inches thick.

Is travertine porous?

Yes, more than dense marble. Sealing it once a year keeps it resistant to stains.

Can I use it for candles?

Yes, with a coaster under the candle to catch wax.

Does every tray look identical?

No. Travertine has natural pitting and tonal variation.

Warm stone, clean edge, less on the counter. #TempleOfDesire

In short

The Less is More Tray is a hand-carved travertine marble tray measuring 11.8" long by 9.8" wide and 0.8" thick. Travertine is a warm-toned stone with an open, naturally pitted texture, and color and pitting vary from piece to piece. The tray is used on a bathroom vanity, bedside table, altar or entryway to corral bottles, jars and small objects. It costs $231.95. Travertine is more porous than dense marble, so an annual stone sealer is advised in bathrooms, and candles are better placed on a coaster since the stone takes wax marks readily.
