Marquetry Plaque - Sun over the Mountain
Marquetry is an art that dates back to the pharaohs and has survived for centuries. It uses as its prime material the natural veneers of trees from all over the world. These veneers are selected for their color and texture, cut by knife and/or saw, mounted on a rigid base, and then completed with a glass-smooth finish.
This piece, featuring a moon rising over a snowcapped mountain, is made up of veneers of Ambrosia Maple, Vavona, Walnut, Dyed Maple Burl, Dyed Curly Sycamore, Creamy Etimoe and Myrtle Burl. It measures 8 inches x 10 inches and is approximately .5 inches thick.
Caring for your picture is easy. Keep it away from direct sunlight and protect it from extremes of heat, moisture, and dryness. Periodic cleaning and polishing, as you would any fine wood, will preserve and enhance its finish and beauty.
