The history of this kind of craftsmanship is long and has evolved over the centuries – in fact there is evidence of this dating back to ancient Egypt. In recent times, the tradition took roots in Rajasthan, India where local artisans initially developed this art form for the royal palaces of the Maharajahs and nobility.

The construction usually has multiple steps in the process, In this case, it is a three-step process. First, ethically and responsibly sourced cattle bones (Bone Inlay) or ocean shells (Mother of Pearl) are hand-carved to unique shapes. Then these are glued to the furniture base or frame to create a beautiful mosaic pattern. And then as a final step, the resin is filled in the space around the inlay and finished. This handcrafted technique results in a product where each item is unique and different.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to have beautiful things and have a treasure or two that they have acquired and love and enjoy for their beauty. This is an opportunity for you, as a Wisteria customer, truly to procure a piece of furniture that is crafted with tradition, history, and with an eye on artistic beauty.
