A hand-crafted treasure carved from creamy white marble and decorated with traditional Pietra Dura floral inlay. A labor-intensive technique passed down through generations of artisans from Agra, India.

This vintage trinket box brings together soft stone with intricate semi-precious inlay work — mother-of-pearl, onyx, carnelian, and green stones shaped into characterful Mughal-style blooms.

You can pair this piece beautifully with other decorative accents in the Décor Collection.
