A comprehensive book on teaching the art and craft of marquetry and furniture making, written by two author/teachers each with over 30 years experience of creating stunning marquetry furniture. Twelve step-by-step marquetry tutorials and four furniture-making projects guide students at all skill levels through the construction, with full colour illustrations at every stage of build. A comprehensive gallery of furniture displaying marquetry and furniture built by artisans from different corners of the globe make this a truly international publication. The gallery includes replica copies of two of Thomas Chippendale's iconic marquetry furniture pieces: the prestigious Diana & Minerva Commode, and the Pier Table initially made for the Circular Dressing Room at Harewood House - both are recreated in full coloured veneers, just as the originals appeared when first made over 250 years ago.
