Collector's Notes

Marquetry uses contrasting pieces of wood to build decoration directly into a surface, allowing the grain and color of the woods to become the pattern.

This larger rectangular form suits collectors of decorative woodwork as well as someone who simply wants useful storage that does not look mass produced.

This marquetry wood box has a chevron inlay lid and a firmly attached wooden handle, and it suits a desk, dresser, or bookshelf that needs keepsake storage. If it's the one you've been looking for, it's ready to come home.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
