Bone-Inlay dining table

Unlike your average piece of furniture, a bone inlay dining table makes a statement through its craftsmanship and ability to tell a narrative. We design unique and hard to find pieces that appeal to customers who appreciate unique interior design rather than an average few that does not respect a balance of aesthetic and functional durability.

Each table tells a story. Each is impossible to replicate even if it were possible to forget. When you purchase an heirloom bone inlay from Elephanta, you are purchasing an heirloom that connects Mughal-era influenced heritage with your modern family lifestyle.

Artisan produced in Udaipur

Elephanta's ethical sourcing begins with sourcing unique bone inlay tables from master artisans in Udaipur. In the creation of a bone inlay table, there is first a design phase to create the patterns, then bone selection, etc. The bone, sourced from a naturally deceased animal, is then combined with responsibly and sustainably harvested Indian hardwoods such as teak and sheesham.

Each bone fragment is hand-shaped into specific designs, arranged into grooves on wooden surfaces. The inlay is set with two contrasting resin for permanent placement, which enhances the visual depth of the surface. After several weeks of hand-polishing, the resulting surface demonstrates its full complexity and the dining table becomes expressive of the way surface catches light throughout the day. 

Design Versatility Where it Belongs

The bone inlay tables showcase patterns that are precise and organized (chevron, quatrefoil), floral heritage designs (botanical patterns inspired by Mughal gardens), or mixed designs (both structural and organic). This versatile design ensures the table finds a natural place in the modern home, formal dining, or eclectic rooms. 

With options available in round, square, or rectangular (4 seater to 8+ seater) options, our matching chairs with soft cushions complete the dining experience with the added benefit of dramatic beauty and comfort.

Industry Certification & Prestige

Bone inlay dining furniture has soon become the go-to preference for interior designers and celebrities alike, all over the world. Our tables have been featured in Architectural Digest showing bone inlay dining rooms specifically design for public figures. This level of recognition is not due to preference alone; these artists curate dining rooms with specific intent to use the highest level of craft and quality product. 

Functional Aesthetics, Practical Durability

Bone inlay surfaces don’t simply look great because they are functional; they look great due to that! The resin-infused bone makes a naturally non-porous surface that is more stain-resistant than even sealed wood. Spills don’t absorb—they sit on top, easily wiped away.

The patterned surface naturally hides minor stains meaning you keep the table looking pristine longer between cleanings, which is fantastic for busy family homes, or homes where entertaining is the focus.

Investment Value Increases With Time

Quality bone inlay always appreciates over time versus non-bone-inlay furniture that depreciates like fashion trends. With bone inlay, the wood will darken, the surfaces will develop subtle character marks, and the heritage of the piece becomes more visible. Vintage bone inlay pieces are sought after by collectors and interior designers for significant dollars.

The investment build reflects the irreplaceable artisanal craftmanship, sustainable ethical sourcing, will become increasingly scarce as the traditional skills become endings when no on further trains and apprentices, and the factors of great design that don’t require dated styling.

Ethically Sourced and Community Support

Every Elephanta's bone inlay table is made of bone that has been ethically sourced from animals that have died naturally, not endangering wildlife or through cruelty. Additionally, every partnership with Rajasthani artisan communities compensates each maker fairly, works with safe working conditions, and ensures traditions will continue for generations to come.
