EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Mughal pietra dura inlaid marble footrest, dating back to around 1700, is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and artistry. The intricate design features a central radiating floral motif surrounded by meandering floral borders, all meticulously created using semi-precious and hard stones.
The square top of the footrest is a stunning display of color and pattern, showcasing the skillful technique of the North Indian School artisans who crafted this piece. The use of precious stones adds a touch of luxury and elegance to the overall design, reflecting the opulence and grandeur associated with the Mughal Empire during this period.
Standing on four short rounded feet, this footrest not only serves as a functional piece of furniture but also doubles as a work of art that would have adorned the homes of royalty and nobility in India. Its timeless beauty transcends centuries, making it a valuable addition to any private collection.
Captured in this print by UK-PhotoFreelance15 from Fine Art Finder, this Mughal pietra dura footrest is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic legacy of India. It serves as a reminder of the skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined Mughal decorative arts during the 17th and 18th centuries.
