What Giallo Siena marble looks like
The cream background almost disappears under a very dense net of intense yellow veins: fine and thick, they run in every direction. Beige enters the pattern, though yellow is the color that rules. Against the background the contrast is high, and within the slab the pattern changes markedly: ask for photos of the available slabs before choosing.

Giallo Siena marble finishes
The finish decides how much the net of veins shines and how the surface feels and grips.
-
Polished
It takes the gloss to the maximum: the yellow looks more intense and the net of veins sharper.
-
Honed
The matte one for wet areas: on a shower floor it is preferable to polished, which gets slippery when wet.
-
Brushed
Fine lines that add texture and a firm touch; alternate it with honed in wet areas.
-
Antiqued
Relief you can feel and a very muted gloss: the yellow goes matte, with no reflections.

Questions about Giallo Siena marble
What is Giallo Siena?
It is the same marble: Giallo Siena is the other name it also appears under in catalogs. Here we call it Giallo Siena marble. When you ask for a quote, it is worth requesting photos of the available slabs, because every slab carries its own net of veining.
Is Calacatta Siena marble the same stone?
No. They share only part of the name. Calacatta Siena is a pale yellow crossed by thick golden ochre veins running horizontally; Giallo Siena starts from a cream background covered by a net of intense yellow veins in every direction. Compare the photo of this slab with that of Calacatta Siena marble.
Does Giallo Siena marble work for a kitchen?
Yes, as long as you accept that use will leave marks. A splash of lemon or a glass of wine forgotten for hours on the countertop leaves a dull mark on the polish. Over time those marks build into a patina: that is the character of a marble in a kitchen. If you want a countertop with no marks at all, there are stones more tolerant of acids, such as granite.
How do you clean Giallo Siena marble?
Water and neutral soap are enough for daily cleaning; dry lemon, wine or coffee right away so they do not mark the light background. If the slab absorbs quickly, seal it before use: the sealer helps, though the marble stays porous. If the gloss fades or an acid mark is left behind, the marble is polished again and the net of veins looks sharp once more.
Can I receive Giallo Siena marble in my country?
We ship to any country, with the stone's documents of origin and its CE certification. On the shipping page we explain how it reaches each region.
