Handmade Marble Coasters Set of 6 in Grey

This set of coasters is a handmade product crafted from marble. Marble is among the most celebrated crafting stones, with innumerable properties that are unrivalled by other stone crafts. This particular offering features a fine filigree to represent the fretted surface of stone lattices with delicate, intricate, floral and geometrical patterns. Before the carving process, the raw marble is sculpted and shaped using a hammer and chisel to bring out the basic form.

The craftsman then marks the outline of the design using a compass. Once the outline is marked, he then draws various floral and geometrical designs using a pointed chisel. The craftsman then cuts through these pre-drawn patterns using various grades of flat chisels and hammers. After carving, this marble block goes for further grooving and embossing, followed by minute detailing to the carved pattern by the process of filing, after which it is sent for polishing or buffing. It is usually done by a buffing machine, which consists of a rotating wheel often coated with sandpaper or hard wires made?of brass.

This set of coasters has been handcrafted from natural marble, one piece at a time. No two slabs of marble are alike due to the natural veining and spotting pattern of the material. The handmade process further lends exclusivity to this offering, making it unique.
