A tradition in wood
Mosaic inlay (marquetry) is a centuries-old craft, with each pattern built from hundreds of tiny pieces of wood and mother-of-pearl, all cut and fitted by hand. Because every board is handmade, slight variations in grain, color, and pattern are part of its charm, and no two are exactly alike.
Perfect for

∙ Collectors of handmade and artisan decor
Care instructions
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature changes to preserve the finish and inlay.
Please note: Colors may vary slightly between screens. As a handmade item, minor natural variations in the wood are normal and add to its character.
