Marquetry: a Gorgeous Art Form Popular in America
Marquetry is perhaps best described as art on wood. Veneers are used to adorn the wooden surfaces of objects in an ornamental way. Multi-colored veneers are cut into different shapes and sizes and are then glued onto wooden surfaces in some decorative designs.
For centuries now, the art of Marquetry has been used to beautify wooden furniture and ornamental objects made of wood. This was an art form popular in the European region since the 17th century. American Marquetry is inspired by its European counterpart.
German immigrants brought this art form to America in the 19th century. The mechanized wood industry stood in complete contrast to the art form. Some unimaginably beautiful pieces of wood work were created with a few hand tools and glue.
Americans began to take to Marquetry closer to the time of the Civil War. The obsession with Marquetry then lasted for close to a century. If one examines the pieces that were created at this time, it is clear to see that locally available woods like cherry and maple were preferred.
Woods like Mahogany and other exotic versions were imported for use. Americans took to enhancing pieces of Marquetry by staining wood for added color. The kind of patterns that were thus possible became quite limitless.
There was a huge range available that included simple geometric patterns and the more complex ones that resembled paintings. Around the year 1830 steam powered saw mills came to America. Veneers could then be cut into as fine as 15 to 20 layers per inch of wood.
Most wood workers however, preferred to do things by hand despite such developments in technology. European styles are what Americans depended on when Marquetry first came to the country. But the elaborateness of design was not something the Americans included.
American Marquetry in the early days was propagated mainly by the cabinet makers of Boston and some other artisans who assisted them. Gothic, Rococo, Renaissance as well as Louis the XV were some of the styles in vogue till the end of the World Wars. By the time the World Wars ended, Art Deco became a popular style.
Remy Vriz, in the 1980s created a technique known as piercing. Layers of veneer were placed together and the topmost one sanded right down to the level of being practically transparent. American Marquetry specialist Patrice Lejeune further developed this technique.
As a side form of art, Lejeune developed what is called "sprinkling". Waste from other projects such as sawdust and shavings were collected and used to color pieces of veneer, making them more dynamic. American Marquetry has developed quite a bit since its debut.
There are a couple of dedicated organizations that constantly work at innovating and promoting the classic and contemporary forms of Marquetry in the country. If you find this interesting, then you should get yourself some formal training in Marquetry.
