Experience the perfect marriage of Greek purity and Italian heritage. The Vera Ann Pattern combines the brilliant, crystalline "snow-white" of authentic Thassos marble with the soft, elegant charcoal-grey veining of classic Carrara. Together, they form an interlocking "Star and Cross" geometry—a design that has graced luxury estates for centuries, now reimagined for modern interiors.

This polished marble mosaic is a "statement" surface, offering a high-contrast visual that defines a room. Whether used as a grand entryway floor or a boutique-style kitchen backsplash, the Vera Ann pattern provides an architectural depth that standard tiles cannot match.

Why Choose the Vera Ann Pattern?

• The "Quiet Luxury" Palette: The crisp white of the Thassos "Cross" pieces acts as a frame for the soft grey "Star" pieces, creating a clean, high-contrast look that isn't overwhelming.

• Precision Craftsmanship: Each piece is water-jet or precision-cut to ensure that the stars and crosses fit together with microscopic tolerances, resulting in a perfectly flush surface.

• Timeless Geometry: The Star and Cross motif is a historic Mediterranean design, ensuring your investment will remain in style for decades.

• Increased Property Value: Utilizing two of the world's most famous marbles in a designer pattern significantly boosts the luxury appeal of any renovation.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• White Thinset Only: Essential: You must use a high-quality white thinset. Because Thassos is translucent, a grey adhesive will bleed through the stone, turning your pure white tile into a dull grey.

• Layout Planning: Due to the interlocking nature of the Star and Cross pattern, we recommend a "dry lay" before installation to ensure the corners and edges are planned perfectly.

• Grout Recommendation: Use a bright white unsanded grout to make the pattern look seamless, or a very light silver-grey to subtly highlight the geometric shapes.

• Sealing: Apply a premium impregnating sealer before and after grouting. This protects the Thassos from absorbing grout pigments and keeps the Carrara looking vibrant.

• Cleaning: Use only pH-neutral cleaners. Avoid all acidic products like vinegar or citrus-based cleaners, which will etch the polished marble surface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the Thassos marble "pure" white? A: Yes. We use Premium-grade Thassos, known for its lack of veining and its bright, sugar-white crystalline structure.

Q: Can this pattern be used on a bathroom floor? A: Absolutely. It is a favorite for primary bathrooms. While polished marble can be slippery when wet, the high frequency of grout lines in this mosaic pattern provides added natural traction.

Q: How does the "Star and Cross" fit together at the edges? A: The sheets are designed to interlock. When installed correctly, the joints between the sheets disappear, creating a continuous, infinite pattern across your entire floor or wall.

Q: Does Carrara marble vary in color? A: Yes. As a natural stone, the Carrara stars will have varying levels of grey veining. This natural variation is what gives the Vera Ann pattern its unique, authentic character.
