Calacatta Borghini: The Classic White Marble

Calacatta marble has been a favorite of artists and designers around the globe for centuries. Even today, the classic Italian white marble enjoys vast popularity for its elegant, understated design in all forms.

The Borghini Quarry

Specifically, Calacatta Borghini Marble embodies the look and feel of traditional luxury. Sourced from one of the oldest and most famed quarries in the Carrara region of Italy – the Borghini Quarry – it is thought to be one of the most classic white marbles in existence. The pattern of prominent grey and honey-accented veining on a white background is extremely popular for creating a classically refined style in kitchens and baths. Because production and quarrying of this statement-making marble has become very limited in recent years, Calacatta Borghini has garnered a reputation as an especially rare and luxurious choice for personal residences.

A Classic with Color

The magnificent veining that Calacatta Borghini Marble exhibits aptly lends itself to past and present looks of luxury. The eye-catching range of movement in Borghini slabs assures a kind of sophistication, richness and charm to almost any room in the house.

While some slabs showcase a bold, dramatic look with a striking spotlight on rust coloration, other varieties offer more wispy movement that accentuates the grey veining with a highlighting warmth. Varieties of Calacatta quarried from the Borghini Quarry can differ, but no matter which block or bundle they come from, these slabs undoubtedly afford an elegance and grace to high-end spaces.

Traditional Marble Speaks to Modern Spaces

With an established history of quarrying dating back to the Romans and its long-standing admiration for usage in homes, Calacatta Borghini is considered as classic as can be. But this in no way makes it a conventional choice for today’s homes.

Desire for white marble bathrooms and kitchen countertops made of Calacatta has endured centuries. And this marble is revered for having a crisp, elegant look that fits with a variety of interior styles and applications.

More contemporary kitchens, for example, will benefit from bold-on-bright movement that handsomely plays off elements like black or brass fixtures.

Calacatta Borghini’s tinges of honey or taupe coloration add a beautiful warmth that balances white modern features and complements earth-tones.
