Amazing White Marble Inlay Handicrafts

 

As you know the marble art is famous from the Mughal period which glorifies the beauty of Indian culture, so let us explain the detailed history of white marble inlay handicrafts and explore how to make marble products in different regions of India

Italian Marble

Nowadays Pietra Dura is a beautiful marble semi-precious stone that began in the workshops of Florence in Italy around the end of the 16th century, Pietra means (stone) and Dura means (hard) this marble is widely used to make white marble Inlayhandicrafts in India. Another reason we use Italian marble is for its durability and purity.

Types of Italian Marble

There are three most common types of Italian marble.
