Marquetry finds its origins in ancient Egyptian times. Initially it was an inlay technique used to decorate wooden objects. Egyptian artisans would carve into the wood to insert pieces of other materials such as bone ivory stone or different types of wood. Fun fact: In the 16th century an Italian master marquetry artist was challenged by a noble to create a picture entirely out of wood. He crafted a piece so flawless that the noble initially believed it to be a painted canvas. Did you know? Marquetry is so intricate that each knife requires several hours of meticulous work to assemble the tiny pieces of wood.
