One of the most attractive
work of art that comes from marble is "Marble Inlay" work. It is a
closely protected traditional art and only a few expert exponents
are available today. Marble inlay work is done in only two part of
India i.e. Rajasthan and Agra(UP). Rajasthan is basically
famous for the Inlay on table tops, flooring, & wall decoratives.
Again Agra is famous for Parchinkari work which is a very minute &
precise inlay work. This work is very costly & very elegant.

The delicate process involves
cutting and engraving marble shapes manually. To start with, a
predefined pattern e.g., floral design or geometrical design is
engraved on the marble slab. Small pieces of marble of different
shades are cut delicately to fit in these grooves precisely. These
small pieces are then slipped in the grooves. Apart from marble,
many other materials can also be used. The process requires lot of
patience and accuracy. Needless to say, the returns are also equally
rewarding. The finished product is mostly used as Tabletop. We offer
a variety of appealing exquisite tabletops. Some of these use even
semi-precious stone for inlay work. We have tabletops made of green
marble as well, which are inlaid with semi-precious stones like
Lapis lazuli, Malachite, Jasper and Cornelia. These table tops are
in octagonal shape as well, available in different sizes.
