	Marquetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marquetry should not be confused with the much more ancient craft of inlay in which a solid body of one material is cut out to receive sections of another.
		Marquetry was revived as a vehicle of Neoclassicism and a 'French taste' in London furniture, starting in the late 1760s.
		Marquetry was not a mainstream fashion in 18th Century Italy, but the neoclassical marquetry of Giuseppe Maggiolini, made in Milan at the end of the century is notable.

	Straw marquetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Straw marquetry is a craft very similar to that of wood marquetry except that straw replaces the wood veneer.
		The most famous straw marquetry was practised by prisoners of war from the Napoleonic wars.
		There is a slight difference in the way the straw is prepared, however; for marquetry, the straws are soaked, split and ironed; for egg decoration the straw is not ironed.

		Marquetry was revived during the Renaissance and is most closely associated with European Continental furniture makers, especially Dutch, Italian and French ones.
		One of the great practitioners of marquetry was Andre Charles Boulle, who created a distinct style in the late 17th and early 18th centuries by mixing in brass, copper, and tortoiseshell pieces to his marquetry.

		Marquetry is the art of using thin sheets of wood, metal, or organic material, such as shell or mother-of-pearl, cut into intricate patterns according to a preconceived design and affixed to the flat surfaces of furniture.
		As marquetry-work tends to splinter, vulnerable places such as the outer edges of the design and keyholes were often protected with mounts of bronze or other metals, often of an intricate shape, which add to the decorative richness of the piece of furniture.
		The marquetry is used to adorn the sides of the toyboxes and as an art form in the production of pictures for the nursery wall.

	marquetry. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Unlike inlaying, in which the secondary material is sunk into portions of a solid ground cut out to receive it, the technique of marquetry applies both field and pattern material as a veneer of equal thickness.
		The process was derived from the true wood inlay known as intarsia and reached a high point of development in its use by the Dutch in the 17th cent.; subsequently the French were its chief exponents, with the Boulle family (see Boulle, André Charles) creating a distinctive style through the use of copper and tortoiseshell.
		Marquetry in England was never carried to the heights of elaboration or technical brilliance reached on the Continent, but in the latter part of the 18th cent.
