Marble whiter than the Taj Mahal comes to London

Marble whiter than the Taj Mahal comes to London

British Entrepreneur Chris Gilbert of Fox Marble is supplying a housing development in Chelsea and the rest of the UK with rare and highly sought after luxury, pure white Sivec and high crystalline marbles.

With his typical eye for opportunity, Chris Gilbert and his team secured the rights to sought after resources in Kosovo and Macedonia.

For luxury interiors, fine marble is a must-have component. Very often, it’s a pure and white stone that discerning high-end developers and homebuyers want; think palatial bathrooms reminiscent of bygone Maharajas.

Fox produces a rare marble that’s whiter than the stone of the world famous Taj Mahal. The Company’s stone, including the White Sivec and the popular Grigio Argento, is already being used in luxury developments in the UK such as London’s exclusive Chelsea Creek, being developed by Berkeley Homes, where apartments are demanding prices of £17m. White Sivec is of such a high class and cystallinity that Hindu temple builders are carving religious statues from it in India, and it is extremely popular in the Middle East.

What’s even more unusual is all this perfect white marble is being cut from quarries in Kosovo and Macedonia.

It’s a unique story of humble beginnings to the homes of London’s elite. Fox starts work in Kosovo, where the Company is a major local employer, cuts the silk-like stone from its quarries, puts it through gang saws and finally it starts its life as a luxury bathroom in Chelsea.

Chris Gilbert, Fox Marble CEO, commented: “Our marble is world class and the perfect complement to any luxury apartment or home interior fittings, which is why the Chelsea and wider UK market is so attracted to it. Our range offers options to suit all manner of styles and design requirements, whether you’re looking for a sleek, Mediteranean or Arabian image, or something striking, unusual and interesting.

“We’re really looking forward to seeing our stone in the homes of the future and we are sure our customers will find as much pleasure in its class and quality as we do.”
