Bianco Covelano Macchia Vecchia marble
Marble · Italy
A wavy black vein crosses the white of the slab almost horizontally: that is the pattern of Bianco Covelano Macchia Vecchia marble. With that contrast, the stone asks for spaces where the vein can run whole: bathrooms and interior walls.
It is also known as Bianco Covelano Macchia Vecchia.

Finishes of Bianco Covelano Macchia Vecchia marble
On a white with such a marked vein, the finish decides how much the surface shines and how much the contrast fades.
-
Polished
Brings out the shine and maximum contrast: the black vein reads sharply against the white.
-
Honed
Matte and soft to the touch: the vein loses its sheen and wet floors are less slippery.
-
Brushed
Fine lines to the touch and a discreet sheen; the other option for floors and showers.
-
Antiqued
A settled look: the white loses the polish's reflection and stays matte.

Questions about Bianco Covelano Macchia Vecchia marble
How do I tell this Macchia Vecchia apart from Bianco Covelano?
The Bianco Covelano carries straight bluish gray veins, diagonal and parallel to each other, over a white background. This Macchia Vecchia stands out for its wavy black vein, almost horizontal: you cannot mistake one selection for the other. The name also appears as Bianco Covelano Macchia Vecchia: the same stone written another way.
How does this marble hold up in a kitchen?
With conditions. Over the years marble takes on a patina, it scratches more easily than granite, and lemon or vinegar leave their dull marks on the polish. If your countertop cannot show a single mark, see the alternatives in natural stone for kitchens. If you accept the patina, the black vein runs whole across the counter.
What care does Covelano Macchia Vecchia need?
To clean it, water with neutral soap; for lemon, wine or tomato, a cloth right away. The sealer depends on what the slab absorbs (the water drop test tells you) and reduces how much it absorbs; it does not make it waterproof. If etching marks appear over the years, a new polish brings the shine back.
Does that black vein repeat the same in every slab?
No: two slabs of the same marble are never identical, so the vein in yours will look different. That photo comes from a real slab, not a recreation. Before you buy, we send you photos of the slabs available for your order.
