I recall back in the late 1950s that my father made several items
they were decorated with marquetry.

He wasn't particulary artistic and I suppose some "kits" were involved..

Was it a fad or fasion at the time? Were kits widely offered?

I had a kit for a picture in the 70's, don't think I ever finished it ...

My granddad was expert at marquetry and parquetry;
I think it had mostly died out post-war.
