About Antiq Beige Italian
Antiq Beige Italian sits in the marble collection. Marble is softer and more calcareous than granite, and that is precisely what allows it to take the deep polish it is known for. A soft neutral ground that carries warmth without becoming a colour in its own right, which makes it a safe choice across large areas.
Marble is best used where it will be looked at rather than worked on. Antiq Beige Italian suits flooring, wall cladding, vanity tops, feature walls and table tops. It is calcareous, so acidic spills u2014 lemon, wine, some cleaning products u2014 will etch a polished surface; a honed finish disguises that far better than a polish does.
Antiq Beige Italian is available as gangsaw slabs, cutter slabs, tiles and vanity tops. Standard thicknesses are 16 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm, and other dimensions are cut to drawing. Every order is shade-graded before crating, which is what stops a delivery arriving as a patchwork.

Which finishes are available?
We supply Antiq Beige Italian in Polished, Honed, Brushed, Antique and Leathered. The right one depends on the application u2014 tell us where the stone is going and we will recommend rather than guess.
What is Antiq Beige Italian best used for?
It is commonly specified for flooring, wall cladding, vanity tops, feature walls, staircases and table tops. If your application is not on that list, ask u2014 the answer is often yes, with the right finish.
Does Antiq Beige Italian vary between slabs?
Yes, considerably u2014 and that is the reason to choose marble. Veining direction, density and background tone differ between slabs. For a feature wall or a book-matched floor, tell us at the enquiry stage so the slabs are selected and sequenced rather than picked at random.
Can Antiq Beige Italian be used outdoors?
It can be, but with care. Marble weathers and can lose its polish outdoors, and in a freeze-thaw climate it is not the right choice. For external work we would usually point you at a granite instead u2014 tell us the location and we will say plainly what will hold up.
How much maintenance does it need?
Marble is calcareous, so it reacts to acid. Seal it on installation, clean with a pH-neutral product, wipe up wine, citrus and vinegar promptly, and keep away from limescale removers and bleach.
Where is Antiq Beige Italian quarried?
Quarry origin for this shade is confirmed at enquiry stage u2014 ask the export desk and we will tell you exactly where the block comes from.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. We send physical samples of any shade in the catalogue before you commit, and for larger orders we will photograph the actual slabs allocated to you prior to crating.
How is it packed for export?
Film wrapping, EPE foam between every surface, edge and corner protection, then heat-treated fumigated timber crates on moisture-resistant pallets. Loading is supervised and photographed before the container is sealed.
