Calacatta Paonazzo Marble – The Charming Choice

Paonazzo is a stylish marble extracted from the same Italian quarries producing popular varieties of traditional Calacatta Oro. Known as Paonazzo, Calacatta Paonazzo or Paonazzetto, this marble gets its name from the Italian word for purple and can feature deep violet veining upon an ivory background. However, the marble’s dark and bold veining often carries black, brown, or even unique blue-green tones.

A Taste of Honey

Paonazzo Marble features a lovely touch of warm coloration which has become one of its most admired and sought-after properties. Rich, honey-tinged veining gives the material a fashionable vintage-feel. And its rust, antique look emanates an old-world nostalgia that feels classically elegant as opposed to outdated.

Charming Choice for A Modern Kitchen

Paonazzo’s unique coloration and gold accents have become a designer’s dream for making captivating statements in chic, modern kitchens:
