Italian natural marble
Also known as Monet Garden Marble
Natural Italian marble from Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. Ivory, apricot, terracotta, sage green and soft lilac in one stone.
Nature’s palette, captured in stone.
Walk past a polished slab of Breccia Aurora and the colours move with the light: lilac turns to sage, cream warms to apricot. No photograph quite holds it, so here it is in motion.

The garden
In 1883 Claude Monet settled in Giverny, a village in Normandy, and spent the rest of his life making a garden. He planted the way he painted.
Colour came first, and then the flowers were left to grow as they pleased: reds, russets, oranges and blues in drifts of different heights, and beyond them a pond of water lilies. It became the place where Impressionism and gardening turned into a single art.

The stone
Far to the south, in the hills of Brescia, nature had been working on the same picture. Italian quarrymen call this stone Breccia Aurora.
Fragments of ivory and cream were broken, scattered and bound together again, and the seams between them filled with apricot, terracotta, sage green and soft lilac. Cut and polished, each slab looks like a canvas, as if nature had tipped over her palette and liked the result.
The colours
Old quarry
Cooler, more classical tones. Pale lilac drifts into pale green. Elsewhere a warm cream ground is touched with green and violet, or soft yellow melts into soft green with the calm of an old fresco.
New quarry
Warmer and bolder: honey-gold grounds flushed with pink, and deep coffee grounds veined with brown.
