The Stone

See the natural beauty of Arabescato Cervaiole up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this marble unique.

Quarried at high altitude from Monte Altissimo in the Apuan Alps — among the most prestigious marbles in the world, with bold diagonal veining of Renaissance heritage.

Arabescato Cervaiole is a marble of extraordinary prestige. Extracted with extreme care from the historic quarries on Monte Altissimo in the Apuan Alps — the same mountain where Michelangelo himself sourced stone for his greatest works — this is one of Italy's most sought-after white marbles. The surface is striking: bold, flowing diagonal veins of dark charcoal-grey and black sweep dramatically across a crisp white background. The veining has a confidence and clarity that sets Cervaiole apart from other Arabescato varieties — each line feels decisive, purposeful, as though the stone knows exactly the story it wants to tell. This is marble at its most expressive. Quarried at high altitude with meticulous block selection, Arabescato Cervaiole commands premium pricing that reflects its rarity and heritage. At In2stone, we approach a stone like this with the respect it demands — careful templating to maximise the veining's visual impact, precision cutting to maintain continuity across joins, and installation with invisible seams. Regular sealing and pH-neutral care maintain the surface's brilliant contrast.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Arabescato Cervaiole

Why is Arabescato Cervaiole considered one of the most prestigious marbles?
Several factors contribute to Arabescato Cervaiole's prestige. It is quarried from the historic quarries on Monte Altissimo in the Apuan Alps — the same mountain where Michelangelo sourced marble for his masterworks. The extraction at high altitude is technically demanding and limits available supply. The stone's bold, flowing diagonal veining is exceptionally beautiful. And the centuries of artistic and architectural heritage associated with this quarry elevate the stone beyond mere material into the realm of cultural treasure.
Is Arabescato Cervaiole the same stone Michelangelo used?
While Arabescato Cervaiole comes from Monte Altissimo, the same mountain where Michelangelo quarried marble for his sculptures, the specific blocks selected for sculpture (primarily Statuario grade) differ from those cut as decorative slabs. However, the geological origin is shared, and the stone carries the same Renaissance-era quarrying heritage. It is a genuine connection to one of the world's most celebrated artistic traditions.
How does the veining in Arabescato Cervaiole differ from other Arabescato varieties?
Arabescato Cervaiole is distinguished by particularly bold, confident diagonal veining. While other Arabescato varieties may feature intricate, fine-patterned networks (like Arabescato Corchia) or all-over arabesque formations, Cervaiole's veins tend to sweep in clear, dramatic diagonal lines with strong charcoal-grey to black colouring. The pattern has a decisiveness and clarity that makes it one of the most visually striking Arabescato varieties available.
What price range should I expect for Arabescato Cervaiole marble?
Arabescato Cervaiole sits firmly in the premium marble price bracket. Its prestigious Monte Altissimo origin, limited quarry availability, and exceptional beauty mean it typically costs significantly more than standard Carrara or Arabescato varieties. Exact pricing depends on slab quality, size, and current market availability. At In2stone, we provide transparent, all-inclusive quotations and can source competitive prices through our established supplier relationships.
Can Arabescato Cervaiole marble be used for a kitchen island?
A kitchen island is one of the finest applications for Arabescato Cervaiole marble. The large, uninterrupted surface area of an island provides the ideal canvas for the stone's bold diagonal veining to express itself fully. If the island is large enough to require multiple slabs, our craftsmen take exceptional care to match veining across joins, ensuring continuous flow. The result is a kitchen centrepiece with genuine prestige and visual drama.
