Intoxicating India : Jaipur Antiquariat Indian Art Shop : February 2013
During the fifth day of our holiday tour of India (see Intoxicating India 2013 : Day 5), we visited the Antiquariat Art Shop in Jaipur. There are thousands of art pieces on display here and I did take quite a number of photos (what can I say, I love art!), so to make it easier to view I am presenting them in a few categories.

A. MARBLE ART WITH SEMI-PRECIOUS STONE INLAY
Firstly, we were shown how semi-precious stones are prepared and in-laid onto marble art pieces such as table tops, etc.
Some of the semi-precious stones use for in-laying into marble - malachite, tiger's eye, torquise and even corals.
The craftsmen will skillfully polish the stones, carve openings onto proper positions in the marble and set them into these holes.
