Europe’s Baroque and Rococo

At the peak of the European Baroque and Rococo periods, marble was the favorite material of the architects. They used marble in many highly detailed palace works. Various fountains, staircases, mantelpieces, and courtyards of that time are made of the luxury marble rock. 

The royal families would have their homes decorated with marble furniture, flooring, and fixtures. The fixtures, such as marble clocks and sinks, remained popular among the 19th-century European bourgeois as well.
