The bed

The palest bed worked at Miriyan. Shahabad Cream is a fine, close-grained off-white with faint warm veining and very low mineral speckle. It calibrates and polishes cleanly, which is why it is sold almost entirely as interior floor and wall tile.

Sold to distributors supplying hotel, retail and residential interior fit-out where a pale limestone floor is specified and porcelain is being resisted.
