Marquetry
Yes well I remember a card table where the whole of the top was done like
this in a repeating pattern, but as I say, a lot of work and why?

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.
