Arabescato Corchia
The Arabescato Corchia Marble is a natural stone of Italian origin, extracted from quarries located on Mount Corchia in the Apuan Alps, Tuscany. This marble takes its name from the mountain it originates from and is distinguished by its light background, which can vary from milky white to ivory, decorated with white spots and sinuous veins in light gray, bluish, or greenish hues.
Its arabesque structure, characterized by irregular and dynamic patterns, gives the material a unique and refined appearance.
