A Living Art: The Story of Bone Inlay and Mother of Pearl Furniture
Introduction
Welcome to a world where every piece of furniture tells a story. At Niktan Export, we don’t just create furniture—we celebrate a centuries-old tradition passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Our specialty lies in crafting bone inlay and mother of pearl furniture that is not only visually stunning but also carries the essence of Indian heritage.
Today, this ancient craftsmanship has captured the hearts of customers across the USA, UK, Europe, Dubai, and other countries. Interior designers and architects from all over the world love the elegance, charm, and detail our products bring to living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and commercial spaces.
What is Bone Inlay?
Bone inlay is a traditional art where small, hand-cut pieces of camel bone or cruelty-free alternatives like resin are delicately placed into wooden furniture to form detailed patterns. Once the inlay work is complete, the surface is filled with colored resin, sanded, and polished to a smooth finish. This method results in breathtaking designs that reflect a blend of tradition and luxury.
Each piece is handcrafted by artisans who dedicate days—sometimes even weeks—to one item, depending on the complexity. It’s not just furniture; it’s a commitment to artistry.
What is Mother of Pearl Furniture?
Mother of Pearl (MOP) furniture uses shimmering shells sourced from oysters to create elegant, iridescent designs. Like bone inlay, it’s a slow, detailed process. The effect is timeless—a luxurious sheen that transforms mirrors, tables, and cabinets into heirloom pieces.

FAQs: Insight for Students & Buyers
1. On average, how many hours or days does it take to complete one bone inlay piece?
It depends on the complexity. A medium-sized chest or coffee table takes 7–15 days. Larger pieces like wardrobes or sideboards may take 20–30 days.
2. Which countries or states in India are your biggest buyers or markets for bone inlay products?
Our largest markets are the USA, UK, Australia, and Dubai. In India, we work with clients from Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Internationally, designers and boutique stores in New York, London, Sydney, and Dubai are major buyers.
3. What changes have you noticed in customer preferences over the years, and how has that influenced your designs?
Customers are now more conscious of ethical sourcing and customization. We’ve started offering cruelty-free options (resin inlays) and expanded our customization services. Geometric and minimal designs are also in higher demand now.
4. What challenges do your artisans face in preserving this traditional craft today?
One major challenge is competition from machine-made replicas. It’s also hard to find young people willing to learn this slow, manual process. That’s why we invest in training and fair wages—to keep the craft alive and respected.
