Having a marble inlay at home means enjoying your own dwelling as well as appreciating those elegant and luxurious creations which are capable of giving prestige to your domestic spaces.
Of Arabic origin, the term “inlay” refers to the art of making figures by skillfully inserting other elements of the same material on a flat surface. Marble inlays are very frequent but inlays are also common in wood, ivory and stones.
A marble inlay is able to express magnificence, by giving objects, furniture and floors an inestimable value. It is a true art, born in Asia Minor three hundred years before the birth of Christ, in the city of Tarsia, spread immediately with the Arab domination in all European courts, where nobles competed to surround themselves with artists able to create inlay marble crafts for them.
Today the quality of the inlays and decorations on marble has reached a high level, especially thanks to the techniques of marble decoration and the new generation inlay machines. An inlay marble work as well as inlay objects or furniture are quite sophisticated and precise, also thanks to the use of suitable equipment that speeds up the work of the master craftsmen by guaranteeing, at the same time, excellent results.
The price of the inlays has also lowered because the machines used are increasingly sophisticated and allow greater precision, making the job easy, fast and with excellent results.
