Questions About Arabescato Marble
Which Arabescato Is the Whitest?
Going by the photos, Corchia, Oro and Apuano have a white background; Vagli is grayish white with softer veins. Corchia and Apuano are the ones with the most contrast, with dark gray veins. Oro swaps the gray for a golden brown.
What Is the Difference Between Arabescato and Carrara?
Both are white marbles with gray veining. Carrara has fine, diffuse veins with little contrast; Arabescato holds white fragments inside a more pronounced web of veins.
Does Arabescato Work for a Kitchen Countertop?
It does, if you accept how a marble ages. A kitchen acid leaves a dull spot on the shine. With use, a patina appears. A honed finish disguises it; if you want a surface that does not change, look at a white quartzite.
Why Does Arabescato Come in Red and Gray?
Arabescato is a trade name used for several marbles with a lively pattern. The Orobico look very different from the whites: wavy bands of brick red, dark gray or blue-gray with salmon pink.
