Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nero Marquina marble?

Nero Marquina is a premium black marble quarried in the Basque region of Spain. It is characterized by its deep black background and striking white veining, making it one of the most sought-after marbles for luxury interiors worldwide. Each slab features unique vein patterns, ensuring every Quarra Home piece is genuinely one of a kind.

How do I care for my marble tray?

Simply wipe with a soft, damp microfiber cloth after each use. Avoid acidic cleaners such as lemon juice, vinegar, and harsh household chemicals ??these can etch the polished surface. We recommend applying a natural stone sealer every 6 to 12 months. For the textured hammered edge, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any dust.

Is the tray food-safe?

Yes, the polished Nero Marquina surface is food-safe and suitable for serving dry foods, pastries, bread, and fruits. We recommend avoiding direct contact with highly acidic foods and oily substances. For extended serving, placing parchment paper or a liner underneath food will help maintain the mirror-like finish for years to come.

What are the dimensions and weight?

Approximately 30 cm (11.8 inch) diameter, 4 cm (1.6 inch) height, and 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) weight. Due to the natural stone material and hand-finishing, slight variations of a few millimeters are normal and add to the artisanal character of each piece.

How is the hammered edge created?

The distinctive hammered texture is achieved through a traditional hand-chiseling technique passed down through generations of stone artisans. Each strike is carefully placed to create a consistent yet organic pattern ??no two rims are exactly alike.

Will my tray look exactly like the product photos?

Due to the natural origin of Nero Marquina marble, each tray features unique veining patterns. The overall design, dimensions, and finish quality are consistent, but the specific placement and intensity of white veins will differ from piece to piece. This natural variation is the hallmark of genuine natural stone.

Why Choose Quarra Home Marble?

Natural Stone, Naturally Unique

Unlike mass-produced ceramic, glass, or resin alternatives, every Quarra Home marble piece is cut from genuine natural stone. The veining, subtle color variations, and mineral inclusions are nature’s signature ??impossible to replicate.
