Statuario Marble
Genuine Italian Statuario, Supplied and Installed
If Statuario is the marble you keep coming back to, you already know why. Quarried only in the Apuan Alps above Carrara, it pairs the brightest white field of any Italian marble with bold grey and gold veining, a contrast no other natural stone produces. At Euro Marble, we hand-select Statuario at the source, and our collection includes Statuario Venato and Statuario WOW, shown as full slabs at our showroom at 11 Rich Street, Marrickville, in Sydney’s Inner West. We supply, cut and install it ourselves, one team from the slab you choose to the finished surface.

Why choose Statuario for your project?
Because nothing else does what it does. Statuario is the rarest and most coveted of the three classic Carrara-region marbles, extracted in far smaller quantities than Carrara or Calacatta, and it earned its name as the statuary marble of the Renaissance sculptors. On a kitchen island, a vanity or a feature wall, that history reads instantly: a crisp, gallery-white background carrying dramatic dark veining, with every slab genuinely one of a kind.
If the brief is quiet luxury, choose something else. Statuario is for the room where the stone is the statement, which is why you’ll find it in five-star hotels and Sydney’s most exclusive residences, and rarely anywhere in between.
Is Statuario right for your space?
Here’s the straight answer we give in the showroom. Statuario is at its best indoors, in spaces with plenty of natural light where its contrast can work: kitchen benchtops and islands, bathroom vanities, splashbacks, feature walls, fireplaces and interior floors. We don’t recommend it for external applications, where weathering dulls the surface and the contrast fades.
And like every marble, it will live with you. It wants sealing, it can etch if acids sit on it, and over the years it develops a patina many owners come to treasure. If your kitchen is a hard-working one and you want zero maintenance, we’d honestly steer you toward a quartzite or dolomite instead, and we’ll tell you that to your face. But if you understand what Statuario is, there is no substitute for it, and unlike manufactured surfaces it can always be re-sanded and re-polished back to new.
Which Statuario slabs does Euro Marble have in Sydney?
Our collection includes two Statuario selections: Statuario Venato, the classic statuary marble with bold grey and gold veining across a bright white field, and Statuario WOW, chosen for exceptional veining that earns its name. Both are displayed as full slabs, stood upright in natural light at Marrickville, so you can read the movement and depth the way it will actually look in your home.
Every slab was hand-selected through our long-standing quarry relationships in Italy; members of our team travel to Carrara to choose stone at the source. When you visit, you pick the exact slab that becomes your project and we reserve it in your name. Slabs move quickly at this end of the range, so call us on (02) 8585 2999 before you visit and we’ll confirm what’s on the floor.
Still deciding between Statuario, Calacatta and Carrara?
You’re not alone; to the untrained eye the three are hard to separate, because they all come from the same Apuan mountains. The short version: Carrara has a softer white-grey field with fine, feathery veining, the quiet classic. Calacatta brightens the field and deepens the veining. Statuario goes furthest: the whitest background of the three, with thick grey and gold veins interspersed with finer ones, producing the strongest dark-on-light contrast in natural stone. If you want the room to be about the marble, Statuario is the answer. Come in with your plans and we’ll put the three side by side for you.
Is your “Statuario” actually marble?
Worth checking, because the name is borrowed a lot. Many of the Statuario surfaces marketed in Australia are engineered products: manufactured composites printed to imitate the real stone. They’re consistent and identical from one slab to the next, which misses the entire point of Statuario. Genuine Statuario is quarried, not made, and no two slabs on earth share the same veining.
We work only in natural stone. Every Statuario slab at Euro Marble came out of an Italian mountainside, and we can tell you where.
What will Statuario marble cost in Sydney?
Statuario sits at the top of the marble market, and its price reflects its rarity. What your project costs turns on the slab you select, the thickness, the edge profile, the cut-outs and the complexity of the install, so we don’t publish a template price; we’d rather quote your actual job. The figure we give you is fixed and covers the lot: supply, templating, cutting, edging, sealing and installation. The number we quote is the number you pay.

What happens after you choose your slab?
The same five-step process we run on every project, all of it in-house:
- Showroom visit – you view the slabs at Marrickville and hand-pick yours, with our team and your plans in the room.
- Slab reserved – the exact slab you choose is held in your name. No one else can buy it.
- Templating – once your cabinetry is in, we template on site digitally, capturing every measurement, cut-out and edge.
- Cutting and finishing – your slab is cut, profiled and polished in our own Marrickville workshop on 5-axis CNC and waterjet machines. Nothing is outsourced.
- Installation and care walk-through – our own stonemasons install and seal the stone, then walk you through caring for your Statuario before we sign off. And because natural stone lasts decades, you can come back to us to clean, polish or repair it down the track.
There is more detail on our installation and services pages, but the short version is: one team, one point of accountability, from the mountain to your kitchen.
Why work with Evan and the Euro Marble team?
