Process of Inlay Art
“Inlay work” is one of the most attractive art that done from marble. Same type
of that adorns the Taj-Mahal and other Mughal monuments. It is a closely
protected traditional art and only a few expert exponents are available today.
The delicate process involves cutting and engraving marble shapes manually. To
start with, a predefined pattern e.g., floral design or geometrical design is
engraved on the marble slab. Small pieces of marble of different shades are cut
delicately to fit in these grooves precisely. These small pieces are then
slipped in the grooves. There are many varieties of colored stone available for
utilization in marble inlay work: malachite, carnelian, jasper, mother of
pearl, abalone shell, lapis lazuli, agate, coral, turquoise and tiger eye to
name just a few. The grooves are filled with their precisely corresponding
shapes of colored stone and secured in place with a white putty made from oil,
and wax. Once the design is completely dry, the piece is polished with a
mixture of sand, water and emery paper to give a shiny smooth finish. Apart
from marble, many other materials can also be used.
Buyer has to pay Custom Duty or other taxes if
any applicable in destination country.
No two pieces are exactly alike, as the Gem Stones used have different Color, Pattern & Textures.
