FAQs

  • Will an all-white version look flat?
    Not at all — the natural variations in bone and the fine inlay lines create gentle shadows and texture that give the piece quiet depth. Ideal for as the finishing touch in many Australian modern decor schemes.

  • Is the white more delicate or prone to stains?
    The surface is sealed for protection, but like any light finish, it can mark more easily. Wipe regularly with a clean cloth and avoid placing dark or wet items inside.

  • How can I style an all-white Moghul box?
    Its understated palette makes it perfect for layering with marble, pale woods, or linen textures. It works especially well in minimal or coastal interiors where subtle luxury shines.

Inlay Handmade Pieces
As with all things made by hand, these pieces are all unique and small flaws may be present, which adds to the intrinsic character and beauty of each piece.

Care Instructions
​To clean your bone inlay or mother of pearl inlay furniture, please wipe with a slightly damp cloth. After some time of owning your inlay piece, if the shine comes off slightly then please apply a small amount of coconut oil and white wax and clean it with a dry cloth.

Bone and mother of pearl inlay furniture has a porous surface, so items in high-use situations - such as coffee tables - should be sealed prior to use. Grout or polyurethane sealant (available from any hardware store) is suitable for this - example: https://www.bunnings.com.au/cabot-s-500ml-satin-water-based-cabothane-clear-polyurethane-varnish_p1522368

Whilst this sealant is clear, when you are sealing your piece, we recommend using a very soft cloth in a circular motion (rather than a paint brush) in order to avoid any potential brush strokes left on your piece.

Please do not use regular cleaning products (surface cleaners, glass cleaners) to care for bone inlay. They are very harsh to use on inlay pieces.

If your piece is under direct and constant sunlight, the bone pieces may have the potential to turn a slightly yellow tone over time, and little exposure to sunlight can be useful to help them stay light for a longer duration. Please be careful that you don't put your inlay piece under extreme heat or directly under the sun.

If your inlay products may be used often (tray, drawers for example), the bone pieces may fall from edges during the use. The wood and bone both are naturally contracting and expanding materials but not at the same pace, so during season/weather change this could happen. Please use all-fix or super glue available locally to easily fix yourself if this may happen.

For our vase products, we would recommend covering your vase base prior to using, as these vases are not 100% waterproof.
