The history of this kind of craftsmanship is long and has evolved over the centuries – in fact, there is evidence of it 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 of these inlay pieces 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. 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; to enjoy a treasure or two to admire for their beauty. This is an opportunity for you, as a Wisteria customer, to procure a piece of furniture that is crafted with tradition, history, and artistic care. Might we say that this is a rare chance for our dear customers to acquire a furniture item of significance that someday may well be a family heirloom.
