Seaweed Marquetry Reproduction for a Chest of Drawers.
Private Client.

This project required a total of 3 new panels, one for the top and two for the sides of the chest of drawers. As the side panels were originally plain, the designs were inspired by the chest’s top and front. The chest’s top was unfortunately damaged and so the central oval panel needed to be completed replaced. We used European Walnut for the background and Boxwood for the marquetry.

Side Panels (below).

Our client applied the panels to the chest of drawers’ top and sides. They then expertly stained and finished the whole piece.
