Carrara marble is one of the most famous and sought-after types of marble in the world. Originating 30 million years ago, it has been extracted from quarries in Tuscany since the end of the Roman Republic. But it was Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo who made what is now one of the most expensive types of marble famous—with his “Bianco Statuario”. Still, with around 50 different types of marble mined in the quarries, Carrara has much more to offer.
We have a portfolio of select Carrara marble just for you—directly from the quarries, straight from the source—and are happy to support you and provide our professional expertise throughout the selection process.
