You can see Calacata, Carrara and Staturary White Marble from Italy featured in almost every design magazine or website these days. The crisp white background and grey, beige or gold veins of these stones are a perfect anchor for so many design schemes that their popularity seems destined to be with us for some time to come.
Not a big surprise, since the quarries in Carrara, Italy that divulge these beautiful stones have been working since Ancient Roman times. Over 2,000 years of quarrying tradition goes into every slab and tile that comes from these stunning mountain ranges along the coast of Tuscany.
If you want to see all the incredible work that goes into extracting the blocks of white marble that will end up as the slabs, tiles or mosaics you specify on your next project, take a look at this amazing short film, which in our humble opinion deserves a "Design Oscar"
Like precious gems, not every block of white marble that comes out of the quarry is first grade. Walker Zanger has an office in Carrara, Italy for the express re purpose of selecting the finest quality slabs and tiles for shipment to our warehouses. You can see the signature of Daniele Milani, Manager of our Italian Office on every bundle of White Marble slabs, assuring you of the finest quality available!
