Revel in visual "pools" of circular white space, gracefully interwoven with veins of light, medium, and dark grey. Dare to make an impact with this eye-catching marble & its harmonious balance of white base stone.

Carrara is the famous, predominantly white marble emanating form the Tuscany region of Italy, with a smooth flawless finish and subtle flashes of grey

Carrara

Carrara marble hails from the quarries of Northern Tuscany in Italy - and it's easy to see why it's been popular for millennia! Its near-white, luna-like base and subtle gray-blue veining give this natural stone timeless appeal, making it the ideal choice for decorating palaces and temples of ancient Rome.

Emperador

From the Murcia & Albacete regions of central Spain, the distinctive natural splendour of Emperador marble is clear to all whom view it, a wonderful naturally formed pattern of deep brown base stone and spider like veining of white. * Note this marble does carry natural formation fissures more than part of the make up of this stone.

A slice of Nero Marquina Black Marble shows how the lightning like white veins randomly interlace the largely jet black base of the stone

Neromarquina

Nestled deep within the hills of Northern Spain, somewhere between Bilbao & San Sebastian is the town of Markina, small & assuming, but famous around the globe as the source of this quintessential black marble stone! Natural geological bitumen deposits created a stone almost entirely deepest black, but nature alluded to add attractive dashes of lightning like veins in white & occasional gold fleck too.

Its purpose is clear: calming, pristine, bright, white and breezy, this top is suited for modern, traditional, and classical homes. Now refashioned with layered flatboards and triple lacquers, this stunning white finish pays homage to the original top.
