What is Makrana marble?

Makrana marble is a high-quality white marble quarried in Makrana, Rajasthan, India. It is world-famous for its exceptional purity (98% calcite), non-porous density, and luminous white color. It is the same marble used to build the Taj Mahal.

Carved by Makrana offers bespoke hand-carved marble products including fireplaces, fountains, washbasins, home temples (mandirs), jali lattice screens, Pietra Dura inlay work, 3D wall panels, and architectural sculptures — all quarried and carved from authentic Makrana marble.

Do you ship Makrana marble products internationally?

Yes. Carved by Makrana ships worldwide. We manage all packaging, export documentation, and logistics from our workshop in Makrana, Rajasthan, India to clients across the UAE, UK, USA, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

How long does a bespoke Makrana marble commission take?

Lead times typically range from 6 to 24 weeks depending on the complexity, size, and carving detail of the commission. Simple products like washbasins and bowls are typically completed in 4–6 weeks, while complex pieces like home temples or large fountains may take 12–24 weeks.

Private Mansion: The Modern Heritage Villa & Custom Staircase

Located in one of the most exclusive global neighborhoods, this high-end home builder project seamlessly blends the structural minimalism of modern architecture with the rich, textural heritage of Indian marble craft.

From the moment you cross the threshold, the architectural narrative is defined by the juxtaposition of light, space, and the enduring mass of authentic Makrana marble.

Expansive Living Areas and The Central Courtyard

The client requested a central courtyard that would serve as a sanctuary within their grand design. We sourced exceptionally rare pieces of pure white Makrana to create a seamless indoor-outdoor transition.

At the very center sits a custom-commissioned luxury marble water feature, hand-carved to perfection by artisans whose skills have been passed down for generations.

The Grand Marble Staircase: Defying Gravity

Perhaps the most striking architectural feature of the villa is the sweeping, monumental spiral staircase.

Engineering Marvel: Each tread was cut from a single slab of premium Nero Marquina marble, engineered with concealed steel supports to appear entirely weightless.
Aesthetic Drama: The striking black marble with its electric white veining creates a breathtaking focal point.
Glass and Stone: Frameless curved glass balustrades ensure that the visual weight of the black marble isn't obscured.

Master Suites and Private Quarters

The opulent design extends into the private living spaces. The master ensuite is a study in classic interior design, entirely clad in continuous sheets of book-matched Statuario marble.

We respect the absolute privacy of our residential clients; therefore, location details, client names, and specific custom house plans are kept strictly confidential.
