Marquetry Designs

Go back to home page.

The following pages show a host of marquetry designs. Most marquetry in Europe is executed with a background of oak decorated with other coloured timbers.  You do not need to be hidebound by tradition. The background can be in any timber.You ould even incorporate metal, marble, stone, ceramics, glass, leather....
The designs are merely representations of ideas. They are your palette of ideas. A starting point. They can be altered to suit you in any way you choose. Patterns can be combined, one with another, or several together. The panels and borders are especially manufactured to sizes that suit the room and the style of the design. These are not stock 'off the shelf' goods.

To go with the panels are a wide variety of border designs.
