Thank you for your response and instructions and certification. I found the small plate of the Taj Mahal. Thank you. Would you please pass on our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation of the beautiful artistry of Mr. Arif Ansari. His table is the highlight of our magnificent verandah overlooking the Pacific Ocean, here in Australia (in New South Wales state). I enclose photographs of it.

Just wanted to let you know that I received the marble table today! It was delivered in the morning and I had some guys open the box and set it up in my living room. It is looking really beautiful 😍. I love it!! 💖 . I will send you pics of the table at home…Thank you so much for taking care of everything and delivering the table in good condition.

The wonderful thing about this marble table is that it can be used in several different locations. It is wonderful to have the tables in our home. We currently have them sitting out on our porch. At times the marble will be used in the Lazy Susan, and at times the marble will be set up on the stand to be displayed more like a piece of art. Very versatile! Below are photographs of where we currently have the tables.

Megan Kempe, Bermuda

The team at Akbar International was incredibly professional and helpful. The story is a beautiful collection of the most incredible works. I purchased both ready made items and was able to order a table made to my exact specifications. Both tables were shipped to me much faster than I expected and the packaging was incredible..there was no way these tables would have been damaged during shipping. I highly recommend Akbar International to anyone going to Agra!

Michael & Sharyn Hamer, USA
March 2015

We truly cherish our purchase and proudly display it in our home. It resides in our front entry where everyone who visits us can see it. We will be having professional lighting installed soon to really highlight this masterpiece. It was a bit difficult to photograph due to its location but I have attached 3 views to give you an idea. I hope you can save each image to your computer and then use it as you wish. Thank you and we wish you much success as you continue to promote the work of your skilled masters.

Attached are several pictures of our table-top. We are using it as a patio table. It is mounted on 6mm thick plywood on an modified, ancient Singer Sewing Machine base. Unless it is in use it is protected from sunlight and weather by a thick weather-proof covering. During the southern hemisphere winter it didn’t get much use; too cold and no sunshine. As we move into spring and summer, it will become the social centre of our household.

Mark Zvirblis, Australia
November 2012

I am writing to thank you for the excellent quality inlaid marble tables that I purchased from you, plus to send you some photographs (attached). Yes, it was quite a while ago that I bought the two tables (13 November 2012 on Order No.3162) so I apologise it took so long to send photographs, but I have been very busy at work. However, I have never regretted buying the tables; you did a superb job of packing and shipping; and the tables will always remind me of a great holiday and the excellent craftsmanship of your artisans. I confirm to prospective purchasers that you are a very honourable business. I hope you enjoy looking at these images in my house in Sydney, Australia.

Dietmar Scharf, Germany

We would like to inform you that our black marble elephant arrived safely yesterday. Thankyou very much for packing this marvelous piece so carefully.
We are so happy about this wonderful black marble elephant which has already found its place in our living room (see the photograph attached). We are going to install a spotlight to make the beautiful flower inlays more visible and shine. Whenever we look at this lovely elephant we will remember our wonderful journey through India and especially our stay in Agra. The colourful flower inlays remind us of Taj Mahal. Please send our warmest greetings and best wishes to the artist who made this outstanding artwork.

Patricia & Orrin Robbins, USA
May 2020

I hope this finds you and your family healthy and safe. We are fine here in the USA. I hand wrote you a note to let you know that the lovely elephant we bought arrived safely. The letter was returned and had been stamped “mail service suspended”. We named the elephant Taj and he looks lovely at our entry. We loved India. The stop at your factory was delightful and watching the demonstration was great. Sure wish I had asked for a sample piece of the stone he [Artist] was cutting as it is difficult to explain how intricate each piece is. So glad you are keeping this art form alive. Our elephant is enjoyed everyday. Stay safe.

Dana & Michele White, USA
April 2014

I am sending you a photo of the beautiful marble table that you made for us. Very soon, we will be doing a small remodel to this area of our kitchen in order to improve the lighting. I was very surprised how much the touch or feel of the table as we eat or sit at the table is an enjoyable feature. I had mostly thought of it as a visual experience – now I realize the table is very tactile. Perhaps circumstances will create another opportunity for us to visit India again. In the meantime, our table greets us every time we enter our kitchen and reminds us of the joy of our time in Agra and in India. We are very pleased and thank you very much!

Cherri Carlson, USA
May 2019

Thank you for the beautiful marble. It made it home safely and looks lovely in my living room as art and will work well on the lazy susan when I entertain. Here are photos of it with both a candle behind and a light. This is a nice memory of my trip to India.

Leslie Mitchell, USA

Sorry for the long delay for sending you photos of my lovely trivet. It’s been a beautiful addition to our house. I haven’t had a chance to use it as a trivet, but have really enjoyed it as a beautiful decoration. It is a unique memento of our fantastic trip to India and brings us joyful memories!

Elisabeth af Geijerstam, Sweden

Here is, finally, a picture of me and my “leopard”. Still thinking of how to showcase it on a wall. Have not decided how to do that yet. Thanks for your advice in the matter. I get a lot of comments on this piece. It is so unique and the craftmanship is excellent. All the best!

Mary Darling, Canada

I am so pleased with it [table]. The colours and design are perfect for our house. This gives me very special memories of my visit to Agra. In front of it are some small souvenirs from India including a shoe shaped ashtray and a cup from the 1930s. My great uncle Albert Henry Byrt was a Times of India special correspondent stationed in Bombay. He gave them to his sister, my Granny.

Lisa and Alan Tsang, Australia

I have attached photographs of our vase. We are very pleased with it and it has pride of place in our home. I spent some time researching lighting the vase. You demonstrated it with a globe attached to a lead. I manged to locate a battery powered LED light which just fits inside the neck and when turned on at night the result is spectacular. Thank you for your ongoing interest.

Joelle Cerge, USA

Sorry it took me so long to send you the picture of my table yet since receiving the new base. Although I am not able to use it as I originally intended (I am afraid it would not support the weight of the glass top), it does look very nice. Thank you for your cooperation and for making it happen.

Carole Darowski, Canada

Thank you for your e-mail showing new products. I purchased a wall panel during my trip to India in 2016. I attach a photo of it.

In between the problems of the Corona-Virus, I hope of your best health. Thank you for your fast sending the heavy but sure valuable goods. I use the rare marmor artwork not as tables, then as “wonderful picture“ on the wall. Wonderful the precise work of art. Also I like the Onix-Plates.

Margaret Scarborough Eckel, USA

I just wanted to send some photos of the beautiful marble extension table that we have now received and set up. It arrived safely securely packed and is truly beautiful and such an incredible work of art. Because we live in the mountains, the table is perfect with our views of trees and peaks from our windows. Your artisans and engineers outdid themselves constructing the metal extension mechanism for our 120” extension table. The table will seat 14 comfortably when extended and when we slide the extensions underneath, we can easily seat 10. Thank you and your team for all the hard work and care that went into making this for us and for staying in constant touch with us during the process. We will enjoy this table for years to come and it will be enjoyed and appreciated long after we are gone!

John & Maureen Gardner, USA
May 2020

The first thing to say is that we were highly impressed with the quality and care of the packaging, it was outstanding, we have never seen such thoughtful and intelligent design and it surely reflects the quality and detail inherent in your art. The pitcher has arrive in perfect condition, and we are perfectly satisfied with how it looks. I am leaving to my wife to place it but I intend to have a small stand made for it, (my son does fine woodworking and I will have him turn such a plinth). We shall also find a suitable LED battery powered light to place inside because as you pointed out a light inside gleams through the translucent marble and enhances the inlaid semi-precious designs. We had to cut short our Indian vacation about halfway through because of the virus but we intend to return as soon as the self imposed crisis is over and hope to revisit your emporium again.

Anthony & Carol Caminata, USA
January 2017

Dear Friends at Akbar, An interesting fact for YOU!:It took us TWO years to get this gorgeous piece hung by someone qualified to handle an exquisite piece of art, such as this! Some considered it, but quickly backed away- thankfully! Sadly, the lovely frame you sent us to hang the piece was too enormous for the spot, adding weight, which was a big issue.Finally, we found someone who had experience with hanging stone and contact with an obscure Canadian company that could design a custom-made LED dimmable light pad.The european-glass hardware for hanging is the kind used for constructing sturdy thick glass balconies. I held my breath as they drilled the holes in my stone art piece to insert the bolts for wall hanging!As you can see, it was a VERY SUCCESSFUL project! The outcome was even beyond the hopes of the contractor. Daily it brings us immense pleasure, flooding our minds with wonderful memories of Agra and the generational artisanal skill of the Taj Mahal builders.Gratefully, with heartfelt wishes for wellness of all!

Peço desculpas por não ter atendido vocês antes. Fico muito feliz quando recebo as mensagens, faz com que lembre das pessoas maravilhosas que vocês são e o quanto amei conhecer a Índia.  E espero voltar logo para este país encantador. Obrigada de coração pela lembrança. Fiquei de enviar  fotos de como ficou o puxador que comprei de vocês. Adianto que ficou um espetáculo e é admirado por todos que vêem no meu apartamento , aproveito para agradecer, com certo atraso, o prato magnífico que me enviaram tão carinhosamente. Muito obrigada mesmo, como já falei e não canso de repetir, vocês são muito especiais. Um Abraço carinhoso a toda equipe do Akbar. Beijos

We have bought this table plate in your marble factory about 12 years ago. The smaller plates we have bought by you one year later and my husband has made the wooden table around and filling this with the smaller plates and than comes the lightening. It is our best souvenir from our India-time. You have send all by ship and we must tell you, we never had problems with the transportation. We hope your business is going well in this Corona-time.

Attached is a photo of me (Lisa Nicotra) with our lovely Akbar International elephant.  It gives us great joy seeing the elephant in our home of Minneapolis, MN and reminds us of our memorable trip to Agra, India. Thank you for doing what you do and keeping this most important tradition alive for the rest of the world to enjoy.

In 2019 we visited your factory and purchased a beautiful marble inlaid table top. We have since had the craftsmen at BKP Artisans (Etsy) in Punjab make a beautiful bone inlaid base to match. Please see the attached pictures. We are extremely happy with the result and thought we would like to share it with you

Here is a photograph of my new table, as requested. You can also see that behind me is a smaller table that I purchased from Akbar several years ago. I love your work and hope to visit you again. I have already given you a high rating on Trip Adviser.

My beautiful marble circle rests on its Lazy Susan base in our kitchen. Everyone who visits our home marvels at the workmanship in this piece of art.

Parvez, very nice meeting you. As agreed, attached the picture. Let’s be in touch. By the way, I hope it does not get broken during the shipping!! Is it insured? You are a great salesman! Take care of yourself.

Thank you for your email. My table is a lovely feature in my garden which is used most days. I have attached a few photos. Testimonial 2: I am very much enjoying the lovely table I bought from you 2 years ago shown in the photo attached. it is greatly admired by anyone who comes into my garden. I just thought that you might like to know that the substantial crate you made to send it to Jersey is still in use. The crate seemed too good to dispose of and it has been used as a stage by my grandchildren in their garden until recently. This crate is now being used by my seven year old grandson for his plant stall. He sold plants outside his home last year but this year has painted the crate his favourite colour and my son has added shelves so that the plant stall is a permanent self-service shop outside their house. I have attached a photo of your crate!

Your grand package arrived yesterday, but I was a bit under the weather and could not tackle the mystery of the resilient packing! However, this morning, I was more than ready, equipped with strong shears, and what glory did I unearth! The marvelous gold-trimmed bowl and the colorful Tree of Life vase and the decorative elephant, to accompany the two smaller ones I brought home, as well as the Lazy Susan stand, have traveled halfway around the globe safely and securely and are even more radiant now in my house where they do not compete with anything else at all their peers! Thank you very much for your excellent service and careful shipping. I am delighted to have been able to visit your shop and behold what you create and show. Someday I hope to come back.

Dear Salim! Thank you, thank you, thank you! DHL delivered my beautiful Buddha with stand and stunning, large cup yesterday. With my assistant’s able help we have just unboxed everything. How happy I am that all has arrived safely! Your packing was amazing and Thai customs did an excellent job of gently unpacking and repacking my new treasures. And my sincere appreciation to you for remaining so helpfully involved in nudging DHL to stay on top of the entire process. Your service has been extraordinary! Thank you very much! I wish you and your company ongoing success and I shall definitely recommend my friends who are fortunate enough to be in Agra ask to be taken to your beautiful shop. No one should every have concern for their purchases reaching them quickly and safely! Many, many thanks!

Thank you so much for reaching out. We couldn’t be happier with our table. Please see the attached photo. It looks absolutely gorgeous in our room. We may add more marble to our home in the future. If so, we will certainly be turning to you all at Akbar International.
