Bone inlay furniture that is contemporary, luxurious and striking.

Our homes are our sanctuary, so why not curate a space filled with luxury? We craft beautiful bone inlay furniture that melds traditional tastes with contemporary trends. Bone inlay furniture is made by fixing intricately carved camel bone to a wooden frame to create striking patterns. The ancient egyptians practised this form of craftsmanship and it dates back nearly 3,000 years.  Those craftsmen used a form of adornment called intarsia, from which today’s bone inlay furniture is derived. Centuries ago, india was also a home to the noble art of bone inlay. It remains in practice today. Artisans take about a month to create a bone inlay piece, drawing on old techniques that require much skill and practice. The state of rajasthan in india is most well-known for its artistry in bone inlay craftsmanship.  Bone inlay is most often applied over a flat surface, such as the top of a coffee table or the sideboard of a bed. Artisans use these inlay techniques to create patterns on many kinds of furniture. Bone inlay chest of drawers, bone inlay bedside tables, and bone inlay mirrors are just a few pieces we offer to create an eclectic look for your space. A patterned contrast of white bone against rich, dark wood can bring a sense of drama to any room.  However, if a bohemian look is not to your taste, colour schemes are available that lend themselves to today’s minimalist styles. Rather than dark wood, sometimes light or white is used to create a less dramatic, but no less beautiful effect against the creamy tones of the camel bone.

Black, white, or colour – bone inlay furniture is all about catching the eye.

Some of the most common patterns for bone inlay furniture are geometric florals. But many variations to can be found. Some pieces resemble zebra stripes, or dazzling chevron print, while others display patterns of leaves or diamonds.
