MATERIALS
The umbrella stand is made entirely of genuine Carrara marble, a material renowned for its longevity and strength. Marble is naturally resistant to stains and scratches, making it easy to clean: a simple damp cloth is enough to keep its surface spotless. The weight of the marble also provides stability, preventing the umbrella stand from tipping over easily. Each piece of marble features unique veining, ensuring that every umbrella stand is an exclusive work of art. Its neoclassical style and high-quality materials make it an ideal choice for those seeking a practical storage solution that also serves as a refined decorative element in the entryway of their home or office.
Carrara marble, originating from the quarries in the Carrara region of Tuscany, Italy, is one of the most prestigious and sought-after materials in the world due to its exceptional beauty and quality. This natural stone is formed through the metamorphosis of limestone under high pressure and temperature over millions of years, resulting in its characteristic pure white background with gray or bluish veins. Its different varieties, such as Bianco Carrara, Statuario, and Calacatta, are distinguished by their veining patterns and levels of whiteness, and they are widely used in sculptures, luxury architecture, and interior decoration.
Carrara marble has been famous since Roman times and reached its peak during the Renaissance, when artists like Michelangelo used it to create masterpieces such as "David" and the "Pietà," solidifying its reputation as a symbol of elegance and craftsmanship.
Extracted from the quarries of the Apuan Alps using advanced techniques like diamond wire saws, Carrara marble is known for its fine grain and high calcite content, giving it a compact texture and the ability to reflect light, thereby enhancing the brightness of any space.
