Marble & Onyx Collection – Rare, Luxury & Antique

From the golden glow of Chemtou to the depth of Nero Antico, this rare marble and onyx collection celebrates the world’s most exceptional marbles, materials once reserved for emperors, popes and kings. These are stones of provenance and presence, quarried in antiquity or rediscovered in rare seams, each carrying colour, veining and character that cannot be replicated.

These are the marbles of Pompeii, of the Vatican, of the Palace of Versailles, of Roman basilicas, Florentine palazzi and the great courts of Europe. They have paved imperial forums, clad chapels, framed altars and lined ceremonial halls. Their use was never incidental, it was a declaration of power, permanence and refinement.

Our Luxury & Antique Marbles range from richly brecciated compositions to crystalline onyx and dense black stones. Surfaces may be honed to a soft eggshell patina, brushed and time-worn, or polished to a mirror finish, depending on the stone and intended use.

Many of these stones are difficult to source, some effectively exhausted, others available only in limited blocks. Their value lies not only in rarity, but in story, from Roman North Africa to Renaissance Italy and beyond.

Specifying Rare Marble and Onyx

For specification, rare marble and onyx should be assessed stone by stone, because the distinction between marble, breccia and translucent onyx is practical as well as visual. Slab selection, cut direction, finish and intended use should be reviewed against the individual material. Designers comparing neighbouring stone families may also explore De Ferranti’s rare limestone collection, reclaimed stone and marble floors, Pietre Dure and semi-precious tile and slab collection. Samples and current block or slab imagery are particularly useful where strong veining, brecciation or tonal movement will influence layout.
