Octagonal White Marble Inlay Plate
This elegant octagonal white marble inlay plate is a striking example of traditional Pietra Dura craftsmanship, handcrafted by master artisans from Agra. Sculpted from high-quality Makrana white marble, the plate features a spacious plain center framed by a richly detailed floral border, offering a perfect balance of simplicity and ornamental beauty.
The border showcases a harmonious arrangement of multicolor floral motifs, including bold red, deep blue, soft green, and shimmering accents. Each flower, leaf, and vine is individually hand-cut from natural semi-precious stones and delicately embedded into the marble surface. The fine orange-toned geometric outlining enhances the octagonal symmetry and adds a refined architectural touch inspired by Mughal-era designs.
Polished to a smooth, glossy finish, this decorative plate reflects light beautifully, making it an ideal luxury accent for both contemporary and traditional interiors.
