Collection: Makrana Marble : The Stone of the Taj Mahal for Heirloom Gifts

Makrana marble is a fine white marble quarried in Makrana, in Rajasthan, India — the same stone used to build the Taj Mahal. It is prized for its purity, low porosity, and durability: a dense, brilliant white that holds a polish and resists staining and weathering far better than most decorative marbles. Each piece is hand-carved by Rajasthani stone-carving artisans who have worked with the material for generations.

Yes. The white marble of the Taj Mahal was quarried in Makrana, Rajasthan, and the same quarries are still worked today. Makrana marble has been used in monumental architecture for centuries, including the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, because of its strength, brilliance, and longevity. A hand-carved Makrana piece is made from one of the world's most storied natural stones.

Makrana marble has very low porosity, so it absorbs little moisture and stains and weathers far less than softer, more porous marbles. It is also exceptionally dense and white, holds a fine polish, and is durable enough for monumental architecture. These qualities are why it has been prized for centuries and why it makes long-lasting tableware and decor.

The collection features hand-carved tableware and decor, including the Taj Makrana marble cake stand. Every piece is carved and finished by hand, so each carries the slight individuality of the maker's hand and the natural veining of the stone. All pieces are limited edition and not available in mainstream retail.

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner, and avoid acidic substances such as lemon, vinegar, or harsh detergents, which can etch any marble. Blot spills promptly and dry the surface. Periodic sealing helps preserve the finish. Treated with reasonable care, hand-carved Makrana marble lasts for generations.

Yes. A hand-carved Makrana marble piece is a striking wedding or housewarming gift — rare, durable, and carrying a centuries-long decorative history.
