Statuario Marble · Book-matched
Polished · Mirror seam
The single most storied stone in Western architecture — quarried above Carrara since Roman times. Book-matching cuts a slab in two and folds it open like a butterfly, creating a symmetrical veining pattern used for feature walls, fireplaces and monolithic kitchen islands.

Care & maintenance
How this floor ages well.
- 01Seal on install and refresh sealer every 12–24 months for high-traffic areas.
- 02Sweep or vacuum daily; damp-mop with a pH-neutral stone cleaner weekly.
- 03Never use vinegar, lemon, bleach or ammonia — all etch calcareous stones (limestone, marble, travertine).
- 04Wipe wine, citrus, oil and coffee within seconds to prevent etching.
- 05Have honed finishes re-honed by a stone-restoration professional every 10–15 years to remove wear scratches.
