Bespoke Marquetry
Original Marquetry Ltd are bespoke marquetry specialists who have had the pleasure of working with a range of customers, crafting marquetry restorations, marquetry reproductions and new bespoke pieces. The projects have varied in theme, style and scale.
Marquetry Wall Panels for a 5-star hotel.
The Lanesborough, London, England.
Exclusively commissioned by BECK Interiors, for the St George’s Room at The Lanesborough, a 5-star hotel located in London, England.
400 metres of floor-to-ceiling marquetry panels made using European Oak and Black wood veneer. One of the largest marquetry projects ever produced. Designed by renowned architect, Alberto Pinto, who was inspired by the original style and design of the St George’s Room.
We followed through down to the smallest detail, without an error. BECK Interiors were extremely happy with the outcome. We made the panels in-house using the antique tradition of marquetry, in which we specialise. This is where a professional scroll saw machine is used instead of CNC Lasers.
The Marquetry Process:
Examples of Fine Marquetry
Bespoke Marquetry Panel for a Spinet.
Private Client.
This marquetry panel was commissioned in 2023 by a private client for spinet, which is a smaller type of harpsichord. The panel is the central focus of the spinet, just above the keyboard. It was made using 2.0mm thick wood veneers, Black, Boxwood, Pear and North American Tulipwood (Magnolia). The panel was then inlaid into solid wood and encompassed with a decorative black and white line.

Private Client.
This chessboard was commissioned by a private client for a bespoke boat. It measured 1M2.
