FAQs

Tunbridge ware is a traditional style of decorative inlaid woodwork produced primarily in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, characterised by mosaic patterns formed from natural timber tesserae.

Craftsmen constructed these pieces by gluing thin wooden strips of varied natural colours together into long blocks, which were then sliced crosswise into thin veneers to create repeating mosaic illustrations.

Authentic pieces exhibit end-grain wooden tesserae displaying distinct natural timber colours rather than painted details, frequently framed by floral mosaic borders and burr wood veneers.

A small marquetry plaque can be integrated into a gallery wall, displayed on a tabletop easel, or positioned on a bookshelf alongside contemporary ceramics to provide textural contrast.

Keep wooden marquetry panels away from direct sunlight, damp conditions, and radiator heat to prevent wood shrinkage, and dust the surface gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
