Inspiration Gallery: Marquetry
By Twistie via eficostarica
I don’t know about you, but I adore marquetry, the art of wood veneer inlay. This is a classic sort of pattern with an urn and flowers and scrolls and modified Greek keys. I love it.
But perhaps your taste runs in a different direction. Say, fantasy like this amazing custom design by Brown and Harmon:
Or maybe you’d prefer something more like…
This fabulous Swedish piece from the 1940’s with its naive people and trees.
Inspired yet? Interested? Look around. You’ll probably see more marquetry than you ever thought was out there.
