Serving Chicago

Marble inlay for Chicago homes and design projects

Chicago is a city that prizes architecture and design, from the Gold Coast and Lincoln Park to the condos of Streeterville and the North Shore. Handcrafted marble inlay, known in the West as pietra dura, brings a centuries-old art into these interiors as inlaid tables, framed panels, and medallions in marble and semi-precious stone.

We are a marble inlay studio in Udaipur, the home of the craft in India, and we make every piece to order for clients in Chicago, where a large South Asian community adds to the demand. You choose the design, marble, stones, and size; we plan it to scale, share it for approval, and handcraft it before it is crated and shipped.

What works well in Chicago interiors

In Chicago, the most requested pieces are furniture and art — inlaid coffee and dining tables and console tops, plus framed wall panels and medallions that hold their own in a high-rise condo or a period home. Both classic floral pietra dura and cleaner geometric designs suit the city’s mix of pre-war and modern architecture.

For larger residences and design projects, inlaid floor medallions and patterned floors are made in sections for installation by your own contractor; for apartments and offices, table tops and panels bring the craft with no construction.

Marble Inlay Flooring in Chicago

For a residence or project that calls for it, a marble inlay floor — a central medallion, a border, or a full inlaid field — makes a foyer or hall a centrepiece. We design it to your plan and make it in numbered sections that assemble cleanly, ready for your US contractor to install.

Shipping & export

How we ship to Chicago

Every piece is packed in custom insured crates and shipped from India to the United States by air freight for tables, panels, and smaller work, or by sea freight to a US port with onward delivery to Chicago for large floors and installations. Smaller pieces typically arrive within a couple of weeks of completion.

We handle the export paperwork and work with your courier or a customs broker for US clearance. Any US import duties are payable on arrival, and we share full photographs of your finished piece for approval before it leaves Udaipur.
