The ancient Indian art of Bone Inlay has its roots in the Mughal Empire of India. The bone is first shaped and then placed into a pattern on the furniture, creating a beautiful, intricate design unique to each piece. Mother of Pearl Inlay has been around for centuries and has roots in China. The technique was later adopted by the Japanese and the Koreans and spread to other parts of Asia. The shell is carefully cut into shapes and then placed into a pattern on the furniture, creating a stunning iridescent effect.
