Italian Marble Dining Table Collection

Italian Marble's Illustrious History

When it comes to marble most people automatically think of Italy. Marble from Italy has an illustrious history which only Grecian marble can come close to rivalling. This history originates all the way back to the times of the Roman Empire1 and weaves through the Italian Renaissance all the way up to the present day where it is still one of the worlds most coveted luxury materials.

Choosing a dining table constructed from Italian marble is perhaps the ultimate symbol of luxury you can have in your dining room. A marble dining table brings so much to any dining room. The stunning beauty of the marble will be adored by all who set eyes on it whilst whispering wealth and status. Not to mention the fabled history associated with it, dating back to the iconic Carrara mountains of Italy2 where the legendary Michelangelo sourced the marble for so many of his world famous sculptures3.

Check This Before Buying Your Italian Marble Dining Room Table

Before purchasing an item of furniture marketed as a dining table constructed from Italian marble, it is important to ensure the product you are buying is in fact Italian. This means the marble used in the table must be quarried in Italy. If the marble is not quarried in Italy, there is no way the stone can honestly be marketed as Italian.

It is important to be careful of marble dining tables claiming to be Italian when they are in fact from other parts of the world. Before purchasing a dining table claimed to be constructed from Italian marble you should ensure the marble used was actually quarried in Italy. The reason for this is to make sure the premium price you are paying is warranted and the product you will receive is a dining table constructed in genuinely marble quarried in Italy.

All of the stone used in marble dining tables at Prestige Edition are purchased from source and we are able to provide the documentation to prove the origin of all our marble. This means when you purchase a dining table from us you can be totally assured you are getting a table constructed from marble quarried in Italy.
