An elegant and beautiful marble inlay square box with white, red and blue floral motifs adds just that lovely extra touch of class. Marble inlay craft is one of the oldest forms of craft from Uttar Pradesh. First a predefined pattern, like a floral or geometrical design is engraved on the marble slab. After this, small pieces of marble of different shades are cut delicately to precisely fit and are slipped into these grooves. Apart from marble, other stones are also used to adorn the marble inlay spaces. The origins of Inlay work can be traced back to Italy around the end of the 16th century. The craft known as "PIETRA DURA" translates to 'hard' (dura) and 'stone' (pietra). This beautiful craft found its way to the resplendent Mughal courts of the Emperors in faraway India.
