For centuries, marble has stood as a silent yet powerful witness to human civilization—adorning palaces, monuments, temples, and architectural wonders. Among all natural stones that have shaped art and design, one name continues to shine above the rest: Italian Statuario Marble.
At Bhandari Marble Group, our multi-generational legacy has allowed us to witness changing tastes and evolving trends. Yet throughout decades of transformation, the global admiration for Statuario marble has remained unwavering. Through our premium vertical, The Infinity Marble India, we have made it our mission to bring this legendary stone—symbolic of purity, luxury, and timelessness—directly to our clients in India and around the world.
This blog is an in-depth exploration of why Italian Statuario marble remains the ultimate choice for luxury interiors and how we uphold the pillars of Luxury, Quality, and Trust in every slab we deliver.
The Unmatched Legacy of Italian Statuario
Statuario marble, quarried from the iconic mountains of Carrara, Italy, is not merely a natural stone—it is a work of geological art. Its reputation dates back to the Renaissance, when artists like Michelangelo chose pristine white Statuario blocks for their masterpieces, believing the marble contained a hidden soul waiting to be sculpted.
What Defines Its Luxury?
1. Pristine White Canvas
Statuario boasts an exceptionally bright, luminous white base—comparable to untouched snow. This clarity creates a sense of spaciousness, purity, and refined sophistication, making it a favourite in ultra-luxury homes and villas.
2. Dramatic, Bold Veining
The hallmark of Statuario is its striking grey or charcoal veins that flow across the slab. These veins are bold, architectural, and expressive—creating fluid patterns that make every slab naturally unique. With Statuario, no two pieces are ever identical, ensuring a one-of-a-kind aesthetic in every space.
3. Translucent Glow
Premium-grade Statuario possesses a natural translucency that allows light to penetrate slightly beneath the surface, giving the marble an inner radiance. This characteristic made it the preferred medium of Renaissance sculptors and continues to elevate modern luxury design.
Luxury • Quality • Trust: The Infinity Marble India Promise
At The Infinity Marble India, we understand that choosing Statuario is more than a purchase—it is an investment in legacy. Our philosophy and processes ensure that these pillars remain central to every slab we bring to our clients.
1. Luxury: Curating the World’s Finest Selection
Luxury is the privilege of accessing the finest the world has to offer.
We do not merely import marble—we curate it.
Our experts, stationed directly at the quarries in Carrara, hand-select each block based on its colour clarity, vein pattern, density, and structural integrity. When you view our collection, you are not seeing bulk stone; you are experiencing a curated gallery of natural Italian masterpieces.
Each slab is chosen for its ability to transform luxury villas, premium residences, hospitality spaces, corporate headquarters, and couture retail stores.
2. Quality: Uncompromising Excellence from Quarry to Installation
The journey of a Statuario slab from quarry to installation is delicate and requires flawless execution.
Our Commitment to Quality Includes:
• Expert Quarrying & Processing
We collaborate with the most advanced and reputed quarries in Italy, where precision cutting, controlled extraction, and modern processing techniques ensure minimal waste and maximum structural strength.
• Reinforcement & Resination
High-quality Statuario may contain natural fissures and calcite lines. We reinforce slabs using premium back-netting and optical-grade resins that strengthen the stone without altering its natural beauty.
This essential step is often ignored by ordinary suppliers but is a defining hallmark of premium-grade marble.
• Precision Finishing Techniques
Whether you prefer a high-gloss mirror finish or a contemporary honed surface, our finishing ensures smoothness, clarity, and long-lasting brilliance.

Trust is the foundation of our family business—a legacy built over generations.

Statuario vs. Other Italian Whites: Making the Right Choice
Clients often ask how Statuario compares to other premium white marbles:
Calacatta Gold
-
Whiter base
-
Elegant, warmer golden veining
-
More dramatic patterns
Arabescato
-
Softer white base
-
Dense grey swirling or circular patterns
-
More movement across the slab
Statuario, however, remains the ultimate classic—favoured for its pure white colour and sharp, linear, architectural veining. Its artistic and historical significance places it in a category of its own.
We also provide honest comparisons with Statuario-look quartz and porcelain slabs—excellent alternatives for high-traffic spaces or budget-specific projects.
Conclusion: Your Legacy, Carved in Stone
Italian Statuario marble is not just a building material—it is an emotion, a symbol of luxury, and a reflection of refined taste. It transforms a house into a work of art and elevates commercial spaces into timeless landmarks.
