Octagonal White Marble Inlay Plate
This refined octagonal white marble inlay plate is a beautiful representation of classical Pietra Dura art, handcrafted by skilled artisans from Agra. Made from premium Makrana white marble, the plate features a clean, plain center surrounded by an elegant circular floral wreath, creating a balanced and luxurious visual appeal.
The floral garland is composed of stylized blossoms and flowing vines in soothing green and red tones. Each element is carefully hand-cut from natural semi-precious stones and meticulously inlaid into the marble surface. The organic movement of the vines and the rhythmic placement of flowers give the plate a graceful, timeless character inspired by Mughal palace décor.
Finished with a smooth hand polish, the marble surface enhances the natural shine of the stones while preserving the softness of the white marble background.
