Crafting Timeless Marble Inlay Art
Brief History of Our Founder
Mr. Phool Chand Bansal, was born in a prominent business family of Agra. He chose to leave his father's prosperous commodity trading business to pursue his passion for reviving the rare art of Parchin Kari, a craft he had admired since his childhood visits to the Taj Mahal.
With immense dedication, he founded a small Gallery of Marble Inlay Art, providing a platform for the remaining master artisans of Pacchekari / Parchinkari art. Many of these artisans had either abandoned this art form for other popular professions or were struggling in poverty due to the lack of appreciation for their craft, found great inspiration under his guidance and mentorship.
Mr. P C Bansal's son, Umesh Chand Bansal, formally studied art and architectural decoration of the Renaissance period, eventually becoming a legendary figure in this art. His exquisite designs are considered the finest works the art world has ever seen. Several of these masterpieces are displayed at the company’s art gallery in Agra, attracting art enthusiasts and tourists worldwide who seek inspiration and admire his extraordinary creations.
The vintage logo of Subhash Emporium represents a legacy of enduring craftsmanship, authenticity, and excellence dating back to 1962. This distinctive trademark is only found on marble inlay artefacts created in our own traditional workshops in Agra.
