Marquetry is the art of applying pieces of veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns, designs or pictures.
Techniques of wood marquetry were developed in Antwerp and other Flemish centers of luxury cabinet-making during the early 16th century. The craft was imported full-blown to France after the mid-seventeenth century, to create furniture of unprecedented luxury being made at the royal manufactory of the Gobelins, charged with providing furnishings to decorate Versailles and the other royal residences of Louis XIV.
Czar Floors marquetry inlays can be used in custom cabinetry, wall panels, wall framed art, door ornaments.
Custom marquetry inlays can be created using customer provided photo or sketch. Our artists carefully select the various wood veneers for chosen palette. Carefully selected grains and hues create an impression of 3D art with shading and detail.
