Arabescato marble is a very precious variety of crystalline white, characterized by dark gray veins. Its name comes from the particular veins called "arabesques".
It is very similar to veined material, but unlike this it stands out for its darker veins that sometimes appear in the form of ovules.
It is extracted from the Versilia Apuane Alps in the province of Lucca.
This valuable material, widely used in flooring and interior lining, fits in both modern and classic environments.
