Artisanal Marble Plate featuring Taj Mahal Miniature Art & Floral Border

This marble plate carries the Taj Mahal hand-painted in miniature at its centre, on a base of polished white marble, with a multi-coloured floral vine running around the rim. It comes with a wooden stand.

It Comes With Its Own Stand, So No Wall Fittings

A decorative plate usually means drilling, a plate hanger, and a decision about which wall. This one is supplied with a wooden display stand, so it goes straight onto a mantel, a shelf or an office desk and can be moved whenever you like. That also makes it an easier gift to give, since the person receiving it has nothing to arrange.

Miniature painting on marble

The domes, the minarets and the reflecting pools are all worked in by hand in the traditional miniature technique, on a surface only 23cm across. Polished marble takes the pigment cleanly and gives the colours a brightness that paper does not, and the floral vine on the rim frames the architecture without competing with it.
