Jupiter Volakas – Polished

Mantel: 54" Paignton in Carrara marble, honed finish Carrara is a type of white or blue-grey marble popular for use in sculpture and building decor. It has been quarried since Roman times in the mountains just outside the city of Carrara in Italy. The pure white ‘statuario’ grade (sometimes referred to as statuary) was used for monumental sculpture, but had run out by the late 20th century. The current material production is of stone with a greyish tint, or streaks of black or grey on white which makes it an attractive choice for fireplace production. It has a high tensile strength, can take a high gloss polish and holds very fine detail. It is classified by two variations, one is Carrara C with pure white background colour and light grey veins or dots. This is the most refined and precious quality of Bianca Carrara. The other type is Carrara CD, it has darker background with dark grey or black veining or dots. Our Carrara fireplaces are available in both polished (smooth and shiny) and honed (smooth and matt) finishes. Any inclusions or brecciation will be stopped, filled and polished to match the finish of the marble.

Mantel: 58" Deluxe Bolection in Rosso Levanto, Polished Finish 25mm rebate Rosso Levanto Marble is a striking and elegant natural stone that originates from quarries in Italy and Turkey. "Rosso Levanto" translates to "Red Levant" in Italian, referring to its rich red color and its association with the historic Levant region. This marble is highly prized for its deep red hues, interspersed with intricate white veins and occasional variations in tone, creating a visually captivating and luxurious appearance. The primary characteristic of Rosso Levanto Marble is its intense and vibrant red color. The shade of red can vary from deep burgundy to a warmer, earthier red, providing a range of options to suit different design preferences. It is the strong red base that lends this marble its distinctive character and makes it a popular choice for creating dramatic and eye-catching interiors. As with any highly veined marble brecciations (open veins) in the material are a common occurrence. These brecciations form naturally and when found during production will be stopped and filled.
