Calacatta Vagli Antico is a sophisticated marble from Turkey that offers a distinctive twist on the classic Italian Calacatta aesthetic. Characterized by a luminous white background, this natural stone features a dynamic network of irregular grey and gold veining that creates a unique brecciated pattern on every slab. The Antico designation typically refers to a specialized acid-washed or tumbled finish, providing a textured, matte surface that evokes a sense of ancient, weathered elegance. This finish not only enhances the stone's slip resistance for flooring but also masks the etching and scratching common to calcite-based marbles. Its thermal regulation properties make it an excellent choice for maintaining cool interiors in warmer climates.
On hold at our Los Angeles yard: Calacatta Vagli Antico, a 2 cm white marble from Turkey in a polished finish. Lot KL661 runs from 107″ × 65″ to 115″ × 65″.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 111″ × 65″, about 50 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 107″ × 65″ to 115″ × 65″. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is white. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Turkey.
The polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

The yard can confirm whether a held slab can be released.
Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are bathrooms, vanities, fireplace surrounds, and feature walls. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Fireplace and a Kitchen.
The material
Marble is a metamorphic stone, recrystallized from limestone, and it is valued for veining and a luminous surface. It is softer and more sensitive to acids than granite or quartzite, so wine, citrus, and strong cleaners can etch a polish. That is why it is a classic for bathrooms, vanities, fireplaces, and walls, and for kitchens when the owner wants the look and will live with a natural patina. A honed face shows etching less than a high polish. Vein direction should be planned on the actual slabs before fabrication.
