What Is Arabescato Marble?
Arabescato marble is quarried in the Carrara region of Tuscany, Italy. All varieties of Arabescato marble are known for their beautiful veining patterns flowing over an exquisite pure white background.
The veining pattern is dependent upon the variety of Arabescato which is extracted. Arabescato Corchia is a heavily brecciated marble with rounded veining patterns in a grey blue like pattern. This marble is quarried in Stazzema in the Lucca Province of Tuscany. The standard of an Arabescato Corchia block is graded higher in relation to how little yellow it possesses.
Arabescato Vagli is a type of Arabescato marble. This marble is quarried in Vagli di Sotto in the Lucca Province of Tuscany. The veining of this marble is straighter in comparison to Arabescato Corchia and is a dark grey colour with some hints of green.

How Can Arabescato Tiles Be Used?
Arabescato tiles can be seen used in a number of applications. In residential settings this beautiful marble is most often seen used, in the living room, bathrooms and hallways. Commercially, you can see this stone used in hotel receptions and bathrooms for both floor and wall tiles.
Recently, porcelain tiles have sought to imitate the Italian marbles including the Arabescato varieties. Although these porcelain tiles do look beautiful. When these tiles are placed next to genuine Italian marbles such as Arabescato Corchia and Arabescato Vagli, there is no competition in a beauty contest. The natural veining and hues of marble outshine any man-made imitations.
The best Arabescato tile size for projects in large open areas is 600mm x 600mm. This allows a beautiful flow to the area with the illusion of once consistent sheet of marble. To make the most of this effect it is important to use a grout which is as close as possible to the white background of the Arabescato tiles you are using.
If you are operating in a rectangular shaped area or a room tight for space, the tile size you would be best off going for 305mm x 600mm.
Like all Italian marble tiles, all varieties of Arabescato marble will bring an unprecedented elegance and luxury to your interior space. And a beauty unmatched by any other tile, even the porcelain tiles which are imitations of this beautiful stone.
