FAQs

Marquetry is an ancient decorative technique involving the application of small pieces of veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns, gaining significant popularity in furniture and small boxes during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

These boxes typically utilise a solid wood carcase veneered with various contrasting timber species, such as mahogany, walnut, maple, and boxwood, assembled using traditional dovetail or mitred joints.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut veneers, natural ageing of the timber, traditional animal glue usage, and characteristic geometric or floral patterns typical of the period, along with hand-cut dovetail joints inside.

Place the box on a coffee table, bookshelf, or console as a functional accent piece to store small items, contrasting its intricate geometric wooden patterns with clean-lined modern furnishings.

Maintain the wood by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent the veneer from drying and cracking, and occasionally apply a neutral microcrystalline wax to nourish the surface.
