Known for its white or blue-gray color with fine veining, it has been a favorite among artisans since Roman times. The marble’s workability, due to its relative softness, allows for intricate carvings like the beautiful curves of this antique fireplace surround. Throughout history, Carrara marble has been used in iconic sculptures and architecture, adding elegance and sophistication to any design.
