Aegean Bordeaux is a striking red marble quarried in Turkey. The stone shows a deep red base colour with subtle white to pink veining and a fine to medium granular texture that can appear slightly schistose in places. Its vivid hue and elegant veining make it ideal for high‑impact applications such as hotel lobbies, luxury residential bathrooms, and upscale restaurant interiors. Polished, honed or brushed finishes all enhance its natural beauty, while a matte finish can soften the intensity. Marmi di Carrara supplies Aegean Bordeaux in 2‑3 cm thick blocks and slabs, cut‑to‑size on request, and provides real‑time photos of each slab before purchase.
