Milas Lilac: complete guide

History and origin

It comes from the Milas area in the province of Muğla, south-western Turkey, one of the country's most important marble districts. Milas Lilac is widely available on the international market and is valued for its unusual coloured veining. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is white or light grey, crossed by violet, lilac and grey veins, sometimes dense and wavy. Colour and pattern vary considerably between slabs: some are lighter, others more intensely veined. Polished, it enhances the violet tones; honed, it makes them softer and more powdery.

Technical properties (indicative)

Recommended uses

Highly recommended for bathrooms, wall cladding, vanity tops, interior floors and furnishings. The more heavily veined slabs work well in book-matched compositions. Avoid it outdoors and on heavily used kitchen worktops.

Care and maintenance

Clean with neutral detergents and soft cloths, without limescale removers or abrasives. A stain-repellent impregnating sealer protects the light areas. In the bathroom it is advisable to dry surfaces to avoid limescale marks.

Pairings

• rose gold or copper taps
• light maple wood
• walls in powder or lavender grey tones
