Best used for
Kashmiri Brown is a marble with a soft grey-white ground crossed by brown, tan and smoky grey veins that move in long, broken waves. Cut in sequence from the block and opened out, consecutive slabs mirror each other; the photographs on this page show it that way, as bookmatched pairs meeting at a central spine. It looks best on a wall where the pair can be seen whole, or on a large floor where the pattern can run uninterrupted. It suits homes that want warmth without the yellow of a cream marble.
Things to know
Marble is softer and more porous than granite. It scratches under grit, etches under lemon and vinegar, and must be sealed; see our guide on caring for marble floors. For bookmatching, the two slabs must be consecutive from the block, so say at the start that you want pairs. Vein-heavy slabs sometimes carry a resin fill along a natural fissure; this is normal in marble, and you can ask to see where it is before you buy. The pattern varies strongly across a block, so choose your actual slabs, not a sample.
