An Italian white marble with bold, swirling grey veining — more movement than Statuario, more drama than Carrara.
Arabescato is a white marble from the Carrara region of Tuscany, named for its "arabesque" pattern: bold, swirling, sometimes broken-looking grey veins across a white ground. Varieties such as Arabescato Corchia and Arabescato Vagli come from different quarries in the same mountains.
A true marble (around 3–4 Mohs). It etches from acids regardless of sealing, scratches more easily than quartzite, and needs regular sealing. Specify it for clients who want real Italian marble and accept patina; choose honed for working surfaces.
Bright white with heavy, flowing grey veins that can look almost like brushstrokes or broken shards. Each block is different — some calm, some wildly dramatic — so choose from photos of the exact slabs.
Polished for contrast and brightness on walls and features; honed for counters, where it hides etching better.
Feature walls, fireplace surrounds, bathrooms, islands, and bookmatched installations. Its movement makes it a natural statement piece.
White and grey cabinetry, brass or nickel hardware, and dark wood or black accents for contrast.
The whiteness of the ground and the drama and balance of the veining drive Arabescato pricing. NSC sources it on demand; request current pricing and availability.

Yes — as a true marble, acids dull it regardless of sealing. A honed finish hides etching better than polished.
Feature walls, fireplace surrounds, bathrooms, and bookmatched islands where its movement can shine.
