The Stone

See the natural beauty of Grand Antique 4D up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.

A dramatic high-contrast black-and-white marble-effect porcelain with bold fractured character.

Grand Antique 4D recreates one of the most theatrical natural marbles ever quarried ??? the legendary Grand Antique d'Aubert ??? through Sapien Stone's full-body 4D technology. The surface is an absolute study in contrast: large, bright white marble sections sit beside deep, near-black areas in bold, irregular geological formations. The dark areas approach true black and occupy roughly half the surface, creating a composition that is equal parts light and shadow. Bright white sections reveal fine internal veining detail and porous, fossil-like micro-texture, while very fine white veins extend into the dark areas like cracks in obsidian. The contrast is extreme and theatrical ??? this is a statement surface that transforms any kitchen island into a centrepiece. Full-body technology ensures the dramatic pattern extends through the slab thickness.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Grand Antique 4D

What does the 4D technology mean for Grand Antique?
Sapien Stone's 4D technology means the dramatic black-and-white pattern extends through the full 20mm body of the slab. When cut for waterfall edges, mitred joints, or custom edge profiles, the exposed edge reveals the same bold contrast as the surface ??? essential for a design this dramatic.
How large are the white marble sections in Grand Antique 4D?
The white sections are substantial ??? large, bright white marble fragments that occupy roughly half the surface area. This creates a bold, high-contrast composition where the white is as prominent as the near-black, rather than one colour dominating the other.
Is Grand Antique 4D suitable for a compact kitchen or only large spaces?
The high-contrast black-and-white pattern is visually powerful and can feel overwhelming in very small kitchens. It works best on larger surfaces ??? islands of 2 metres or more, feature walls, or bar areas ??? where the bold contrast becomes a deliberate design statement rather than a competing element.
What slab size is Grand Antique 4D available in?
Sapien Stone produces Grand Antique 4D in their standard 160 ?? 320 cm large-format slab ??? one of the largest porcelain formats available. This generous size means fewer joints on large installations and allows the dramatic pattern to flow uninterrupted across kitchen islands and feature walls.
Does Grand Antique 4D come in different finishes?
Sapien Stone offers multiple finish options including Natural (matte), Polished (high-gloss), and Cashmere (soft tactile). The polished finish intensifies the black-white contrast for maximum drama, while the Natural finish creates a more understated, contemporary look with the same bold pattern.
★★★★★
"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"
