Used since Antiquity for architecture and sculpture, marble has also been used since Louis XIV for the decoration of cabinetry. The great variety of its colours and the heterogeneous structure of its rock make it difficult to identify the different types of marble, whether they are old or recent.

To facilitate their recognition for the purposes of expertise or restoration, this reference book offers more than 150 representative samples from the quarry from which they were extracted. A real marble bible, it highlights a wide variety of rock structures (breccias, griottes, concretions, veined marbles, brocatelles, lumachelles or shell marbles, single-coloured or crystalline marbles) and shades of colour, ranging from white marbles to black marbles, via pinks, greens and reds.
