Opera D'Arte is one of the most theatrical names in the Antolini Select catalogue, and this slab earns the title. A warm rose-and-cream field is broken by oxblood and burgundy veining and then crossed, in this lot, by a dramatic wedge of deep forest-green serpentine across the upper left corner. The composition reads less like a stone and more like a torn-and-reassembled landscape — which is exactly why Antolini lists it under their Opera D'Arte program.

This lot is EE092, 2cm gauge, honed, measuring 74″ × 119″ — a Select grade selection, meaning Antolini has hand-picked it for the strength and balance of the composition. Honed is the right call for a stone with this much going on; a polish would fight the field. The matte surface lets the rose, the oxblood, and the green sit in the same register.

Use it as a single statement piece — a fireplace surround, a powder room slab wall, the back of a wet bar, a dining table top — anywhere the composition can be read whole rather than cut into runs. Pairs with unlacquered brass, smoked oak, plaster in warm ivory, and lighting warm enough to hold the rose.

On the floor at 2303 South Sepulveda. Walk it in daylight before specifying — this one rewards in-person review.
