Birds Marquetry Box

The collection began to take shape after a trip to Acre, Brazil’s Westernmost state, where Silvia encountered the skilled craftsmen who master the art of marquetry using native wood. Marquetry — the highly prized, lavishly ornamental decorative art — has roots in ancient Italian marble inlay, then appropriated by cabinet makers in Antwerp in the early 16th Century who used wood in place of stone.
