Written by the Stonage Interiors stone specialists.
Every table in our range starts life as a block of natural stone, quarried from a specific region and chosen for a specific character — colour, veining, density and finish all vary from one stone to the next, which is exactly why we work with a curated set of marbles and travertines rather than a single generic "marble" finish. This guide profiles each of the stones used across our collection, from the deep green of Verde Alpi to the dramatic striations of Nero Marquina, so you can choose a finish based on the character of the stone itself, not just a swatch. Full technical details on sourcing and finish are also available on our marble material and details page.
Verde Alpi
Verde Alpi is a rich, deep green marble with fine white veining running through it, quarried in the Italian Alps. It's one of the boldest colour statements in our range and reads best in rooms with warm wood tones or brass fixtures to complement the green. See it across our Verde Alpi collection.
Carrara White
Carrara White is the classic Italian marble — a soft white background with fine, feathery grey veining, quarried in the Carrara region of Tuscany for centuries. It's the most versatile finish in our range, equally at home in minimalist and traditional interiors, and appears on designs including the Flute Marble Dining Table.
Nero Marquina
Nero Marquina is a striking black marble with sharp white veining, quarried in Spain. It's the boldest, most graphic finish we offer, and works best as a genuine statement piece rather than a background element — well suited to darker, more dramatic interiors. Browse the Nero Marquina collection.
Viola Calacatta
Viola Calacatta combines a pale Calacatta-style background with bold purple-toned striations — a rarer, more distinctive variation on the classic Calacatta family. It suits interiors that want the prestige of Calacatta marble with a more unusual colour signature. See the full Viola Calacatta collection.
Travertine — Red, Beige & Silver
Our travertine range spans three tonal variations — Red, Beige and Silver — all sharing travertine's characteristic pitted, textural surface but in warmer or cooler tones depending on the mineral content of the original deposit. Beige and Red suit warm, earthy interiors; Silver Travertine offers a cooler, more neutral alternative. Explore Red Travertine and Beige Travertine.
Arabescato White, Hermes Grey & Four Seasons
Beyond our core finishes, we offer a small number of rarer stones for a more distinctive look: Arabescato White, with bold grey veining on a bright white ground; Hermes Grey, a cooler, more uniform grey marble; and Four Seasons, a warm, richly patterned stone with variegated tonal movement. Each is available across a limited number of designs — see the Arabescato White, Hermes Grey and Four Seasons collections.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rarest marble in your collection?
Viola Calacatta and Nero Marquina are among the rarer stones we offer, due to limited quarrying and the difficulty of extracting large, consistent blocks.
Which marble suits a light room versus a dark room?
Lighter stones like Carrara White or Arabescato White work well in darker rooms by reflecting available light, while richer tones like Verde Alpi or Nero Marquina suit already bright, well-lit spaces as a bold contrast.
Is Viola Calacatta the same as standard Calacatta marble?
No — Viola Calacatta shares Calacatta's pale background but features distinctive purple-toned striations not found in standard Calacatta, making it a rarer variation.
Do all your tables come in every stone finish?
No, each design is offered in a curated set of finishes suited to that particular shape and base style — check the individual product page for the finishes available on a specific table.
