Pietra Dura Work

Work begins by careful planning of designs, followed by a careful selection of raw material and then shape them with the help of especially made emery wheels. Then work passes to a different group of artisans who specialize in inlaying the stone motifs in marble.Here grooves are cut in the marble with a help of an iron chisel. The grooves are made exactly of the same size so that the stones can fit perfectly in them. The stones are set in the grooves by special glues. This is followed by hand polishing of the marble article.
