Marble inlay, also known as “Parchinkari” or “Pietra Dura” in Italian, is a centuries-old art form that involves embedding semi-precious stones into marble to create intricate designs. This exquisite craftsmanship dates back to the Mughal era, with the Taj Mahal in Agra being one of its most renowned examples. The mesmerizing floral and geometric patterns adorning the Taj Mahal’s walls showcase the unparalleled beauty of this technique.

Alongside inlay work, marble carving is another highly skilled craft that involves sculpting and engraving marble to create detailed patterns, motifs, and artistic masterpieces. This traditional technique requires precision and patience, resulting in stunning decorative elements for interiors, architecture, and bespoke art pieces.
