Pietra Dura (Italian for "hard stone") is a Florentine mosaic technique of using cut and fitted, highly polished colored stones to create images. The craft originated in Florence, Italy, and was famously perfected in India during the Mughal Empire (as seen in the Taj Mahal). Each piece of stone is precision-cut to fit perfectly against the next, creating a durable and vivid image that will never fade or peel.
This stunning piece offers a blend of classic European luxury and exquisite Indian craftsmanship. Bring the beauty of a stone mosaic masterpiece into your home!
Note to Buyer: As this is a natural stone and a handmade product, minor variations in color, veining, and stone pattern are to be expected and are part of its unique beauty.
Note: Custom Duty is Payable by Buyer only.
