Quarry-Direct Slabs
Every block is selected at source in Carrara and Tinos, graded by hand for purity of vein and tone before it ever leaves the quarry face.
Est. 1987 · Quarried in Carrara
Marble for the ages, cut for yours.
Nimbus is a stone atelier that quarries, carves, and sets museum-grade marble for homes and institutions that intend to be remembered.
Trusted by architects in fourteen countries — every slab traceable to its quarry face.
The Craft
Stone chosen slowly, cut once
Three disciplines, one bench: sourcing, shaping, and stewardship — the pillars of every Nimbus commission.
Master Draftsmanship
Our cutters and carvers, trained in Florence and Rhodes, translate classical proportion into crisp, quietly modern profiles.
Lifetime Aftercare
Sealing, polishing, and restoration for the life of the stone — a promise kept in writing since the atelier first opened its doors.
The Commission
From quarry face to final polish
-
Consultation & Selection
We survey your space, present full slabs — never samples — and match veining to your light and architecture.
-
Precision Fabrication
CNC-guided saws make the rough cuts; every edge is finished by hand and dry-fitted in the atelier before dispatch.
-
Installation & Aftercare
Our own fitters set, seal, and polish in place, then schedule seasonal care visits — indefinitely.
Voices
Spoken in quiet rooms
Nimbus matched one continuous Statuario vein across an eight-metre reception wall. Visitors assume the room was built around the stone. It was.
Twelve years of guests, luggage carts, and spilled Bordeaux — the honed lobby floor still photographs like the day it was sealed.
They quarried, cut, and set a fireplace surround that looks plucked from a Palladian villa. The paperwork and aftercare proved equally flawless.

Questions
Before you commission
How long does a typical commission take?
Six to twelve weeks from slab selection to final polish. Reserve-block quarrying for rare statuary can extend to sixteen — and we will say so at the first meeting.
Is marble practical for a working kitchen?
Yes, with the right finish. We recommend honed surfaces for kitchens: they forgive acid etching and wear like a patina rather than a scar. Every commission includes a care manual and the first sealing visit.
Do you install outside your region?
We crate, insure, and ship worldwide, and our own fitters travel with the stone. We never use third-party installers — the hands that cut it set it.
Can you match stone already in my home?
Send photographs taken in raking light and we will search our archived quarry lots. We hold records of every block since 1987, so matches are found more often than you might expect.
What does the aftercare programme include?
Annual inspection, resealing on schedule, and priority restoration — for the life of the stone. It is written into every contract at no additional cost.
