Paintings in Wood: French Marquetry Furniture (Wallace Collection)

Disappointed at lack of visual examples , most of those in black and white. Researching furniture of this period. Book in French and useful for making me use that .

Highly informative and well illustrated. Yannick is a true expert & master of this craft.

Love it

A nice change to get a book that does'nt spend half it's contact aimed at beginers,I recommend it. David.

Ever wonder how the makers of that beautiful desk at the local museum or grandma's den got all those wonderful designs inlaid in the wood? Ever heard the term Marquetry but were never quite sure just what it was. Buy this book and find out! Mr. Chastang an accomplished Ebonist (old world term for marquetry artist) himself shows you how and tells you about the evolution of the art form.I've given this book a 5 star rating and I think you will too!Clint
