Best Uses
Use Italian Breccia Imperiale Leather marble for bathroom vanities, shower walls, fireplace surrounds, backsplashes and elegant kitchen countertops. For a balanced design, combine it with neutral cabinetry, warm woods and both brushed and polished metal finishes.
Care and Maintenance
Marble is softer and more porous than granite, and acidic liquids such as lemon juice, wine or vinegar can etch the surface. Seal it regularly, wipe spills right away and clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner.

Italian Breccia Imperiale Leather FAQ
Is Italian Breccia Imperiale Leather Marble good for kitchen countertops?
It works well in kitchens if you are comfortable with some etching and patina over time; many homeowners choose it for vanities, islands and baking areas.
Does Marble need to be sealed?
Yes. Marble should be sealed more often, usually every 6 to 12 months. Sealing helps with stains but does not prevent etching from acidic foods.
How does Italian Breccia Imperiale Leather Marble compare with quartzite?
Marble offers the classic look but is softer and etches with acids; quartzite gives a similar look with much higher durability.
Can I see the actual Italian Breccia Imperiale Leather slab, and do you serve North Charleston and Mount Pleasant?
Yes. Natural and engineered surfaces vary by lot, so we help you see the actual slab before fabrication. Stonphase serves Charleston, SC and nearby areas including North Charleston, Mount Pleasant and West Ashley.
