Marquetry on wood

The wood marquetry perpetuates a rich and complex artisanal tradition, creating works that combine aesthetics and technical know-how. The marquetry technique is applied to a variety of objects, from furniture and paintings to clock cabinets and, more recently, to small objects such as pocket watches and even wristwatches. Regardless of the scale, the marquetry maker uses the same meticulous and precise approach to interpret the grain of the wood with each cut.

The miniature marquetry maker, skillful and precise, interprets the grain of the wood for each cut. The craftsman assembles and plates a variety of species with infinite nuances to create abstract or figurative, often geometric patterns. Up to 130 types of wood can be used, with around 60 to 70 natural shades.
