The Epitome of Italian Elegance
Calacatta Marble (also known as Calcutta Marble) is one of the most prestigious natural stones in the world, renowned for its refined beauty and timeless appeal. Quarried from the famous Carrara region in Italy, this marble is not just a material—it is a statement of luxury and elegance. Although it shares its name phonetically with the Indian city of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), the two are entirely unrelated.What sets Calacatta marble apart is its crystal-white background adorned with bold, dramatic veining in shades of grey, gold, and taupe. Unlike other white marbles, Calacatta offers greater contrast and more defined patterns, making it a favorite for high-end architectural projects, statement kitchen countertops, luxurious bathrooms, and feature walls.
