Need advice about antique finish

Hi. I have a customer where contractor installed marble white corrella mosaic 4"x4" with small black marble. The finish is very dull, looks like 400 grit but additional to this it contains small white imperfections just like pivots or holes. I have seen those on polished marble damaged by something heavy. Also the edges of tile are rounded just like tumbled marble (I have never seen white corrella tumbled it could be it). How can I recreate this finish after lippage removal? Look very bad. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

simple, give it a 190 brush finish, they will need to re-grout after you are done.

If you remove the lippage down to the grout line you may need to remove it in those spots before you brush it to get proper rounding.

But I concur with Huligar it's a very doable job.
