Brocatelle Marble
Originating from France, brocatelle marble is named after the Italian fabric of the same name. The fabric is characterised by its rich foliated pattern, much like the swirling veins found on the surface of the marble. Brocatelle marble was highly popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, frequently used in French interiors of the period.
