Octagonal White Marble Inlay Plate
This exquisite octagonal white marble plate is a refined masterpiece of traditional Pietra Dura (marble inlay) art, meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans from Agra. Made using premium Makrana white marble, the plate features a clean central surface framed by a beautifully balanced floral border, creating a timeless and elegant visual appeal.
The border design showcases bold red floral motifs arranged symmetrically around the plate, complemented by delicate blue blossoms and flowing green vines. Each element is individually hand-cut from natural semi-precious stones and inlaid into the marble with exceptional precision. The crisp octagonal geometry, highlighted by fine green stone lining, enhances the symmetry and depth of the design.
Finished with a smooth, mirror-like polish, this decorative marble plate reflects light beautifully, making it an ideal luxury décor accent and a fine example of Mughal-inspired craftsmanship.
Semi-Precious Stones Used
The inlay work features authentic, hand-selected semi-precious stones, traditionally used in Mughal marble art:
-
Carnelian – Rich red stones forming the primary floral motifs
-
Lapis Lazuli – Deep blue flowers and accent details
-
Turquoise – Soft blue highlights adding contrast
-
Malachite – Green leaves, vines, and border detailing
-
