Nero Picasso Black Marble Slab 45431 is a 20mm polished natural marble slab measuring approximately 194 × 283cm, distinguished by a deep black background and expressive contrasting veining. Its strong movement makes it particularly suited to projects where the stone itself should become a defining feature, from kitchen islands and worktops to vanity tops, splashbacks, fireplaces and full-height feature walls.

Nero Picasso Black Marble Slab 45431 is a full-scale natural marble selected for interiors where dark stone, contrasting movement and individual slab character are intended to become an important part of the design. Each polished slab measures approximately 194 × 283cm, is 20mm thick and provides around 5.49m² of material. Bundle 45431 currently contains seven slabs, providing scope for larger fabricated projects as well as coordinated or bookmatched surfaces.
The stone is defined by a deep black background crossed by expressive contrasting veins. Starel describes this selection as having elegant, curling movement, while its wider Nero Picasso material description references golden-ochre, silver and mahogany tones.
What does Nero Picasso Black Marble help you achieve?
Its main benefit is the ability to make the stone itself a major visual element.
Where a quieter black marble might simply provide depth, Nero Picasso introduces more obvious pattern and movement. A large slab allows those veins to remain visible across the finished surface instead of being divided into smaller repeated sections.
Nero Picasso can help you:
• create a statement kitchen island or worktop
• fabricate a distinctive vanity top and splashback
• build a bookmatched feature wall or fireplace
• introduce expressive black marble into bespoke furniture
• create full-height stone panels with visible natural movement
• connect black surfaces with warmer brass, bronze or wood details
The result is particularly effective when surrounding materials are kept sufficiently restrained to allow the marble to remain the principal feature.
Where does this marble slab work best?
Starel lists Nero Picasso for bookmatched walls and floors, fireplace surrounds, vanity tops and splashbacks, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, countertops, coffee and dining table tops, shower walls and shower trays, alongside other residential and commercial applications.
Large uninterrupted surfaces make particularly good use of the stone.
A kitchen island gives the marble enough horizontal area for the veining to remain readable at scale. A fireplace or feature wall presents the material vertically, where the movement can become more architectural.
In a bathroom, a vanity top provides a smaller but concentrated use of the marble, while a coordinated splashback can extend the material upwards.
Final suitability should always be confirmed against the exact project, including measurements, cut-outs, joints, edge profiles, supporting construction, access and installation requirements.
Why choose this exact Nero Picasso bundle?
The strongest reason is the combination of slab scale, dramatic pattern and multiple pieces from one bundle.
Bundle 45431 contains seven slabs. Where slab sequencing allows, that creates opportunities for bookmatching or for fabricating several related components from one selected group of stone.
Bookmatching can be particularly effective with Nero Picasso because the vein movement is visually pronounced. Opening neighbouring slabs against one another can create a mirrored composition across fireplace walls, larger feature panels or other symmetrical surfaces.
The polished finish adds further depth and definition to the black field and contrasting markings.
Natural marble varies, so each slab should be assessed individually before fabrication. Starel does not provide cut samples for this material and instead recommends viewing the slabs directly or using full-slab photographs, video or virtual viewing.
Which Starel Stones products complement it?
For a cohesive dark scheme, Nero Black Marble Tiles are one of the strongest companions. They provide a quieter black-marble surface for surrounding walls or floors, allowing Nero Picasso to remain the more expressive stone element.
Where larger-format supporting surfaces are preferred, Nero Black Marble XL Slab Tiles are available in polished 1200 × 600 × 20mm and 900 × 900 × 20mm formats. These can continue the dark material direction with fewer joints while still giving Nero Picasso visual priority.
For strong contrast, Calacatta White Marble Tiles provide a pale white-marble background with natural grey movement. They can frame a Nero Picasso island, vanity or fireplace without trying to match its pattern.
A warmer alternative is Rosso Levanto Marble Tiles. Their deep red character can connect with the mahogany and warm vein tones found within Nero Picasso, creating a deliberately richer material palette.
These products should be treated as complementary materials rather than exact matches.
Slab selection, fabrication and care
Nero Picasso should be fabricated around the actual slabs. Vein direction, bookmatching, component positioning, joints, cut-outs and edge details all affect how the finished stone will read.
As natural marble, it should be sealed where appropriate to the application and maintained with pH-neutral, stone-safe products. Acidic and abrasive cleaners should be avoided.
Nero Picasso Black Marble Slab 45431 is ultimately suited to projects where a black surface alone is not enough: a polished natural marble with pronounced movement, substantial dimensions and a seven-slab bundle capable of supporting highly considered islands, walls, fireplaces, vanity areas and bespoke stone pieces.
Trade pricing available for large quantity orders such as full bundles, complete batches or quantities exceeding half a container.

Starel Stones can arrange UK slab delivery for marble, quartz, travertine and onyx slabs, including delivery to your home, project site, fabricator or installer of choice.
Slabs are specialist products. They are large, heavy and often selected for a specific face, vein movement, colour tone or fabrication requirement. For this reason, slab delivery is handled separately from standard tile and sample orders.
Before dispatch, our team will confirm the delivery address, site access, receiving contact and unloading requirements. Slabs may require specialist vehicles, A-frame transport or suitable unloading equipment depending on the material, slab size, quantity and destination. If your order is being delivered directly to a fabricator, installer or contractor, please provide their full delivery details before the order is released.
We strongly recommend that the receiving party is prepared for the delivery before the slab arrives. The site should have suitable access, enough space for safe unloading and an experienced person available to inspect and receive the material. Slabs should not be booked for fabrication or installation until they have been received, checked and approved.
For customers purchasing slabs for worktops, vanity tops, splashbacks, bath surrounds, feature walls or bespoke stonework, delivery can be coordinated around your project timeline where possible. Lead times may vary depending on stock availability, fabrication requirements, delivery location and the number of slabs being supplied.
If you are unsure whether your property, site or fabricator can receive slab delivery, speak to our team before placing your order.
Starel Stones can support international slab delivery for selected slab orders, subject to destination, order size, product availability and transport requirements.
International slab orders require careful planning. Natural stone slabs must be packed, handled and transported correctly to protect the material during long-distance freight. Depending on the destination and project scope, slabs may be supplied to private clients, interior designers, developers, contractors, fabricators or commercial project teams.
Before confirming an international slab order, our team will review the material, slab dimensions, quantity, destination country, delivery address, freight requirements and receiving arrangements. Where the slabs are being sent to a local fabricator or installation partner, we will need their full business details, contact information and unloading requirements.
International customers should allow for additional lead time, freight coordination, customs clearance and any duties, taxes or local charges that may apply in the destination country. These costs and responsibilities should be confirmed before the order is finalised.
For larger international projects, full-bundle or multi-slab supply may be available. This can be especially useful for designers, developers and trade professionals who need consistency across bathrooms, kitchens, hospitality spaces, feature walls or wider stone packages.
Starel Stones offers in-house fabrication options for customers who want a more complete stone service beyond slab supply. Our fabrication service is designed for projects that require precision cutting, finishing and made-to-measure stonework. This can include vanity tops, splashbacks, kitchen worktops, island tops, bath surrounds, shower walls, feature panels, table tops, shelves, niches, steps, risers and other bespoke stone details.
Working with our fabrication team allows you to move from material selection to finished stone element with greater clarity. Once the slab or material has been selected, we can review the intended use, dimensions, drawings, cut-outs, edge details, finish, access requirements and delivery destination. From there, we can prepare a quotation based on the material, fabrication complexity and project scope.
Fabrication is especially valuable when the stone needs to work across several parts of a room. A marble vanity top can be paired with a matching splashback. A slab selected for a kitchen island can be planned around vein direction, visible faces and edge treatment. A bathroom scheme can be developed with coordinated stone surfaces, from wall panels and bath surrounds to shelves and niche details. Each material is assessed according to its use. Marble offers natural veining and timeless movement, but requires careful sealing and maintenance. Quartz is a practical choice for high-use worktops and commercial surfaces. Travertine brings warmth, texture and architectural softness. Onyx is best treated as a feature material, often used for decorative panels, powder rooms, bars and backlit stone applications.
All fabrication work is quote-based. Final pricing depends on the selected slab, required cuts, measurements, edge profiles, cut-outs, polishing, finishing, handling and delivery. Production should only begin once the specification has been confirmed, the quote has been approved and any required payment terms have been met.
For accurate pricing, please provide drawings, measurements, site photographs, product references and any design requirements when submitting your enquiry. Where needed, our team can advise on the most suitable material, finish and fabrication route for your project.
If you already have a fabricator, Starel can supply slabs directly to them. If you would like Starel to handle fabrication, our team can guide you through the next steps and prepare a tailored quote.
