UK: Thames and Hudson, 1977. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. h/b 303 pages, condition is very good, some edge wear to the DJ. Marquetry - the assembly of many rare and exotic wood veneers to form a picture or decorative pattern - is a craft as old as civilized man. Its current revival is largely due to the indefatigable efforts of one man - William Lincoln. He 're-discovered' marquetry by accident when in business producing expendables from veneer, and from that he went on to build up a world-wide trade in marquetry materials. Past President of the Marquetry Society, he is himself a skilled marquetarian. Technical manuals in this field are few, for the craft was once veiled in secrecy by the trade guilds. Many of the methods of the masters died with them and have been re-developed by trial and error. This book describes the various techniques used in different parts of the world, and discusses every aspect of the design, creation. cutting, laying and polishing, shading and mounting of marquetry pictures. Forty-eight pages of illustrations show a selection of the worlds finest traditional marquetry furniture, as well as many of the masterpieces of modern craftsmen from all over the world; these include recent winners of marquetry's top prizes, the Lincoln Awards and the Marquetry Society's Rose Bowl.
