Napoleon Bordeaux — 2 cm red with bordeaux, white, and grey marble, polished, from 118″ × 72″ to 123″ × 72″ across the lot. Lot V4-432A, from Brazil, has 11 slabs available and one on hold at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 123″ × 72″, about 62 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 118″ × 72″ to 123″ × 72″. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is red with bordeaux, white, and grey. 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 Brazil.

The polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

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 TV Wall.

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.

About Napoleon Bordeaux

Napoleon Bordeaux is an exclusive and high-impact red marble primarily quarried in the Paraná region of Brazil. Distinguished by its deep, fiery bordeaux background, it is artistically fractured by elegant white, gray, and occasionally warm brown veining. This metamorphic stone is celebrated for its low porosity and remarkable density, offering a level of durability that allows it to be used in demanding luxury applications like flooring and kitchen countertops. Interestingly, while it is geologically a marble, its intense mineral composition provides a visual energy and mechanical strength that often leads it to be compared to exotic quartzites.
