Marble Inlay in Chandigarh

Marble inlay is the craft of cutting coloured, semi-precious stones and setting them by hand into a marble base so the surface becomes one smooth, seamless plane. It is known as pietra dura, and in India as parchin kari — the same art used to decorate the Taj Mahal.

Yes. ‘Stone inlay’, ‘marble inlay’, and ‘pietra dura’ all describe the same craft — shaped pieces of semi-precious and coloured stone inlaid flush into marble. We make stone inlay to order for Chandigarh in any pattern and size you choose.

It depends on the design, the stones, the marble, and the size, so there is no fixed rate. Marble inlay is handcrafted and made to order — a step above plain marble flooring — so share your idea and rough size and we will suggest a design and a quote for Chandigarh. WhatsApp is fastest.

Yes. Marble inlay flooring is one of our most asked-for pieces in Chandigarh — central medallions, patterned borders, and full-floor designs, made in numbered sections and fitted cleanly on site. You choose the design, the stones, and the layout.

Because the stones are set into the marble and polished flush, an inlaid surface is hard-wearing and can last for generations with normal care. It is solid stone throughout, not a print or a coating, so it does not fade.

Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and avoid acidic or harsh cleaners, which can dull the polish over time. Wipe spills promptly and have the surface resealed occasionally — that is all it needs to stay bright.

In marble inlay each stone is cut to shape and fitted flush into the marble, so the joins are almost invisible and there is no grout. Mosaic uses many small, similarly sized tiles with visible grout lines between them.

Both. Makrana — the marble used in the Taj Mahal — gives a classic white base, while Italian marble offers specific tones and veining. We advise the right choice for your design and budget.

We use semi-precious and coloured stones such as lapis, malachite, carnelian, jasper, agate, and mother-of-pearl, along with Paua shell and brass, set into white Makrana or Italian marble.

Udaipur to Chandigarh is around 700 km. Table tops, panels, and smaller pieces are crated, fully insured, and delivered door-to-door, usually within a few days of completion; large floors and wall work are made in numbered sections and scheduled around your site.

Yes. Every piece is crated, fully insured, and delivered to your door. Smaller work arrives ready to place; large marble inlay floors and wall panels are made in numbered sections so they fit cleanly on site, and we guide your mason through the layout or arrange fitting for bigger projects.

Yes. Chandigarh’s dry climate suits marble well, and because the stones are set into the marble and sealed, the surface is hard-wearing and easy to keep — a soft, dry cloth and the occasional mild clean is all it needs.

Absolutely. We work directly with designers, architects, builders, and hoteliers in Chandigarh to your drawings, samples, and timelines, and can match a specific stone or colour for residential or commercial projects.
