Vintage Indian Pietra Dura Marble Plate 8" Semi Precious Stone Inlay Agra
A lovely example of vintage Indian marble inlay craftsmanship, most likely originating from Agra, India, a city famous for its traditional Pietra Dura stone inlay work, particularly associated with the Taj Mahal.
The colourful floral decoration, mother-of-pearl-style detailing and intricately pierced marble border are all characteristic of this type of Indian decorative stonework.
The centre features an elaborate symmetrical floral arrangement, with finely cut pieces in shades of turquoise blue, green, orange, gold and black, together with attractive iridescent shell-like detailing.
The surrounding white marble border has been skilfully carved with delicate foliate patterns and pierced geometric latticework, creating an elegant, lace-like appearance.
