Key Features

• Distinct Lantern / Arabesque Pattern: The mosaic’s “Lantern” shape offers elegant repeating forms that add visual flow and sophistication to walls or accent areas.
• High-quality Marble Veining: Gray veining over a crisp white field gives a timeless, high-end look typical of Asian Statuary marble.
• Finish Options for Mood Control: Polished finish brings brightness and reflection; honed finish provides subtlety and a softer tactile quality.

Care & Maintenance

• Installation Tips: Dry lay the mosaic to inspect the alignment of the lantern shapes and consistency of veining. Use white thin-set or a neutral/light colored mortar to avoid affecting marble’s bright tones. Maintain narrow, consistent grout joints (≈1⁄16″) for crisp pattern definition.
• Sealing: Apply a high-quality penetrating stone sealer prior to grouting; after installation and once grout cures, seal again to reduce moisture penetration and staining risk.
• Cleaning: Clean regularly with pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid acidic or harsh cleaners that can etch or damage marble. Soft cloths or non-scratch sponges are best.
• Natural Variation: Expect some variation in veining, shade, and pattern between sheets and within individual tiles—this is characteristic of natural stone and adds to its beauty. Inspect material before installation for visual harmony.
