Old Beige's beige ground with brown veins polishes to a soft sheen that reveals the fossil specks; honed and acid-washed cut glare for corridors and bathrooms, while antiqued restores a European aged character.
Old Beige is Botticino Classico from Brescia, Italy, its pale ground marked by brown hairlines and fossil traces — a classic that never dates in Hong Kong luxury homes.
🏠 Living Room Flooring & Tiles
Fossil clusters sit unevenly through Botticino, so plan slab layouts to keep the busiest areas out of sight lines. A tight 600 x 600 field with slim joints suits it well.
🍳 Kitchen Countertop & Island
Clients love its continental character, but the porous fossil pockets need penetrating sealing and periodic top-ups. Further care notes are in our worktop guide.
🛁 Bathroom Walls & Vanity
Bathrooms are its safest home: book-matched walls read as one surface and tub surrounds come from a single block. Always specify anti-slip treatment, particularly for elderly users.
📺 TV Feature Wall & Entrance
Panel mouldings and wall lights flatter its classical mood; try two book-matched panels facing each other behind the TV. Chamfer offcut sills so edges are safe to touch.
🏬 Shop Fit-out & Clubhouse
Clubhouse washrooms, hotel corridors and office reception areas have used Botticino for decades because it does not date. Reference designs are in our portfolio.
🪜 Stair Treads & Window Sills
Grooved treads are the safe choice, keeping any fossil pocket away from the nosing edge. Sills require an outward fall and drip line.
