Early marquetry was often crafted with stones and gemstones and it wasn\u2019t until the 16th century that wood veneer was used for marquetry designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Favoured by Florentine and Neapolitan furniture makers, wooden marquetry was popular during the Italian Renaissance and drew inspiration from ancient Roman and Greek classicism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern techniques of wood marquetry were developed in Antwerp, Belgium, but it wasn\u2019t until this decorative art caught the eye of French King Louis XIV that it captured the imagination of furniture makers worldwide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Used extensively throughout Versailles and other royal residences, French marquetry masters such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pierre_Gole\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pierre Gole<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Andr%C3%A9_Charles_Boulle\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andr\u00e9 Charles Boulle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> looked to 12th-century Islamic art for inspiration. Popularising the arabesque style with gilt bronze and pewter accents in their designs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While in Georgian Britain, marquetry designs were initially inspired by Chinese-style patterns and later furniture makers such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thomas_Chippendale\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thomas Chippendale<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> revived the art form with neoclassic designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More recent revivals of marquetry came during the art deco period of the early 20th century.

These pieces are then fitted into the marquetry pattern and glued into place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to its precise nature, mastering marquetry can take years. Learning how different materials and woods behave when cut, which tones work together and designing unique patterns requires skill, discipline, and passion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is the difference between inlay and marquetry?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often used interchangeably, the terms marquetry and inlay refer to two distinct types of woodwork.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marquetry is created using carved pieces of wood that are then assembled to create a decorative panel of veneer.
