The stone

We work in solid stone.

We choose our stone block by block. Never cast, never reconstituted, never resin. What you commission is a single mass of stone, the same material that has held its form for hundreds of millions of years. We start there, and we listen to it.

Material 01

White marble

This is the stone that holds light. The grain is fine and even, and it takes the smallest detail without complaint. We reach for it when likeness and tenderness matter most, for sacred figures and for portraits. It carries a soft glow from within that no other stone we know can give.

Character Luminous, fine grain, soft glow
Best for Sacred figures, portraits

Material 02

Black granite

Dense, dark, and flecked with mineral light. This is the stone we choose when a work has to stand out in the open and hold its ground against the sky. It is almost indifferent to time and weather. It keeps its line and its surface for generations, with very little asked of it.

Character Dense, mineral-flecked, near eternal
Best for Monumental and outdoor works

Material 03

Sandstone

Warm stone, laid down in visible layers over a very long time. This is the material of temples and civic relief across the subcontinent, worked here for a thousand years. It is warm to the eye and warm to the hand. It carries carved ornament with a quiet, living softness that suits stories told in stone.

Character Warm, sedimentary, layered
Best for Temple work, civic relief

Material 04

Basalt

Fine, dark, volcanic, and uniform all the way through. We turn to it for memorial work and for modern forms, where stillness says more than ornament could. It is quiet and grave. The surface stays even and unbroken, so it rewards restraint and asks for very little.

Character Fine, dark, volcanic, uniform
Best for Memorial and modern forms

Sourcing

Read at the quarry.

Our strength in sourcing comes from a family stone heritage in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. Generations of reading and choosing stone at the quarry. We pick each block for grain and fault before it is ever cut, because the right block is where the right work begins.

Never cast

A single solid block.

Every work is carved from one solid block of natural stone. Never cast, never reconstituted, never resin. No two blocks are alike, so no two works can be.

Each work is unique to its block

In daily life

Not only figures.

Stone has a place in the everyday too. This wine rack is cut from banded sandstone, the kind quarried here that people call rainbow stone for its colour. The same block, the same hand, put to something you would use.

Begin with the stone.

Tell us what you have in mind, and we will choose the block to carry it.
