Rosso Orobico
In stock
Rosso Orobico (also known as Arabescato Orobico Rosso) is a captivating and bold Italian marble celebrated in 2026 for its “symphony” of warm tones and dramatic movement. Quarried in the Orobic Alps of Lombardy, Italy, it is a premier choice for designers seeking a high-impact, artistic natural stone. Background: Features a rich, deep red to burgundy base that can range from vivid crimson to “sunset rose”. Adorned with a striking blend of white, pearl-grey, and charcoal veins, often with subtle hints of gold or orange. The veining is flowing and “swirling,” creating a dynamic texture that tells a unique geological story in every slab.
- Source: Extracted from the Corna d’Alba quarries in Val Brembana, near Bergamo, Northern Italy.
- Durability: A crystalline limestone with a high density (approx. 2.7–2.9 g/cm³), making it robust enough for both residential and commercial applications.
- Finish: Most commonly found in a polished finish to highlight the depth of the reds, but also available in honed and leather textures for a more contemporary, tactile feel. Statement Features: Its intense color makes it a favourite for bookmatched feature walls, fireplace surrounds, and grand kitchen islands. Interior Design: Widely used for luxury bathroom vanities, flooring, and bespoke furniture, such as marble dining tables. External Accents: Suitable for external cladding and paving in moderate climates. Sealing: As a porous natural stone, it requires a high-quality penetrating sealer upon installation and periodic resealing every 12–24 months to prevent staining from oils and water. Cleaning: Always use pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid acidic substances like lemon or vinegar, which can “etch” (dull) the surface of the marble.
