It is one of an edition of six, made only in 2006, when the Dutch design duo were at the forefront of a renewed and revived interest in marquetry. Such graphic skeletal designs were far from the conventional use of technique, in which incredibly thin veneers are cut to a design, pieced together and applied to a solid wooden base. Studio Job turned heads, and created an appetite for the technique that – as the Perished cabinet’s appearance at auction suggests – has not diminished. Veneer marquetry evolved in the 16th century from the idea of stone inlays and intarsia. A new jigsaw blade made it possible to cut precious woods into ever thinner sheets; the technique swept through Flanders and into France, with cabinetmaker André-Charles Boulle leading the way at Versailles. A century later, elaborate veneer designs had outstripped most other decorative furniture techniques. “Marquetry is an extraordinary illusion, even in this day and age” At Decorex in September, bespoke specialist to express ourselves and our interests,” says co- Zelouf and Bell launched a number of designs founder Susan Zelouf. “We’re more interested in that offer a delightful contemporary approach to style and expression than woodworking.” marquetry, in their own way. “What interests us At the moment, geometric and repetitive patterns is not so much the making for its own sake, but are inspiring the duo, such as a credenza with 22,000 the ability to use different techniques as a way triangles of macassar ebony inlaid into a grid of pale pink sycamore (Othello, £28,000).

Her generation at the RCA – an outstanding cohort which artist and RCA tutor Paul Nash (1889–1946) subsequently hymned as ‘an outbreak of talent’ – included her close friends Eric Ravilious (1903–1942) and Edward Bawden (1903–1989), as well as future giants of British painting such as John Piper (1902–1992). Marx’s own artistic talents were prodigious: she excelled as a textile designer, an author, designer and illustrator of children’s books, a printmaker and a painter.

The 18th century with its floating dresses, its voluminous skirts, flounces and furbelows, its silhouettes of minor marquis in three-piece suits and its immense hairstyles have never ceased to inspire the world of haute couture. The Enlightenment, the age of French Europe according to the famous saying, continues to fascinate. The political and cultural prestige of France was at its highest, when wit, lightness and elegance metamorphosed into a veritable art of fine living. Since 1800, the fashion world has continued to refer back to the 18th century for both women’s and men’s clothing as well as for its textiles and accessories.

TO WHICH IS ADDED A CHAPTEE ON •COMBINATION PRINTING. By H. P. ROBINSON. "As our art is not a divine gift, so neither is it a mechanical trade. Its foundations are laid in solid science : and practice, though essential to perfection, can never attain to that which it aims unless it works under the direction of principle." Sir Joshua Reynolds. "And, as he goes, he marks how well agree Nature and Arte in discord unity, Each striving who should best perforate his part, Yet Arte now helping Nature, Nature Arte." Spenser.

One of the greatest difficulties in writing a book for beginners in any art is to make it simple enough. Nine out of ten photographers are, unfortunately, quite ignorant of art ; some think manipulation all-sufficient, others are too much absorbed in the scientific principles involved to think of making pictures while comparatively a few only have regarded the science as a means of giving pictorial embodiment to their ideas.

  • Le Mur Where Tradition Embraces the Avant Garde
    LE MUR WHERE TRADITION EMBRACES THE AVANT GARDE Alexander Lamont’s designs are works of vitality, soul and character. The unique, hand-crafted pieces made with noble materials bring with them a sense of journey and discovery while communicating playfulness, texture and refined quality. The Le Mur collection for walls allows designers to infuse spaces with exquisite handwork, texture and dimensionality. Vertical surfaces are bought to life with precious shagreen, hand-cracked and burnished gesso and straw marquetry. Every square inch is controlled from preparing the raw material to dyeing and inlay, in Alexander Lamont’s renowned workshops. The finished works express a particular approach to innovation in design and technique; one that uncompromisingly pushes the boundaries of rare and hard-won traditions, maintaining exquisite quality while bringing contemporary, fresh ideas to long- adored materials. STUDIO COLLECTION Innovations in technique, colour and ambience bring gorgeous natural materials to sophisticated new levels. Contemporary designs use straw marquetry in fresh ways to create painterly, mosaic, linear, spatial or textural effect, blurring the boundaries between art and design. Pattern and direction are worked to make subtle trompe l’oeil onto vertical surfaces that appear alive with movement and play - light moving across emerging shapes or sweeping curvilinear lines. Drift I A surface of lines that rises, swells and falls like the wake of a ship. Corrugated and gliding, Drift makes gentle patterns that mix tonality and light creating a contemporary artwork for rooms and accent walls. Available in Verdigris and Wisteria. Panels 24” x 24” (61cm x 61cm) are made in 2 patterns that will be delivered in equal quantities according to project requirements.
