550+ Seamless Marble Textures and Backgrounds That Will Add Luxury To Your Designs
It’s beautiful, timeless, albeit expensive. Yes, it’s marble. This old and traditional building material has been tied to opulence and grandeur since its first usage. A favorite for Greek and Roman sculptors, it’s also beloved by modern designers and homeowners.
Let’s see how marble cemented itself in our history and hearts.
Marble Quick Facts
Marble was first used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. But because of its beauty and durability, its popularity spread across Europe, and eventually, into the New World.
Aside from Michelangelo’s David and the Parthenon, you can find marble in: the door of Heaven and Hell of the Hagia Sophia, the Lincoln Memorial, rock formations around General Carrera lake, and the decor of the Taj Mahal.
Acquiring marble is always a challenge. As a metamorphic rock, it’s formed when original carbonate rock is subjected to immense heat and pressure over a long period of time.
This means that marble can be under layers of soil and earth. Once located, the mining team may take months before marble is quarried. Quarrying can be in open mines or in caves.
In ancient times, quarrying marble was done by lots of hammering until the material is wedged from the earth. It is then taken up to the surface using wooden beams, winches, levers, and pulleys.
Today, heavy machinery is used to help with the load; but the process still requires old-fashioned equipment such as shovels, picks, halters, ropes, and wooden wedges.
Why people love marble
Marble is still much sought-after today for its uniqueness and strength.
Interior designers love this material because it can effortlessly tie a room together, regardless of theme. Want to make a bold statement by using a solid color like bright red or royal blue? Don’t worry – white or black marble in the room (like in coffee tables or fireplaces) can instantly make your space cozy and bright.
There’s a quiet simplicity and air of elegance in those veins and swirls. This is why artists enjoy using it in their artworks. Marble wallpapers and backgrounds for instance, are a fine choice for wedding invitations, retail posters, dining menus, and more. Take advantage of its rich patterns by picking minimal elements. For example: opt for a simple serif font or just icons so as not to upstage its splendor.
