Handmade Marble Coasters (set of 4)

A symbol of luxury, marble is one of the most universally loved stones across centuries. Most famous among them are the Mughal emperors, such as Shah-Jahan, who famously used the same white marble for the construction of the Taj Mahal.

Like many stones, white marble is believed to have many healing properties - from clarity and strength to self control and positive focus. Not only do these coasters come with a welcomed energy, they are beautifully finished with golden edges and are a stylish way to protect your table and surfaces.

These elegant coasters are made by Kishan and his team from Agra, India who, like many other marble workers, are 14th and 15th generation of artisans carrying on the legacy of their forefathers. The craft is usually done freehand and requires a great deal of precision - no two pieces of marble are the same, making each offering unique and exclusive.

"I enjoy creating a unique blend of the traditional and the contemporary in masterfully crafted décor objects for the home, that are a rustic take on classic styles" - Kishan, maker.

Marble is widely celebrated and used across India - is a common feature in many homes thanks to its durable and cooling properties. Little known to others, it’s also a fascinating material to work with; when freshly quarried it is fairly soft and gradually hardens over time.

These coasters are made with high-grade white marble and are crafted using various tools such as a compass, hammer, chisel and sandpaper. Due to natural variations of the hues, each coaster is special and unique.

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use.
• Hand wash only - the dishwasher can chip the edges and dull the natural surface.
• Marble is naturally porous, so wipe up spills quickly to avoid staining.
• Avoid placing directly on polished surfaces - use a cloth or felt pad underneath to protect both the marble and your table.
