Wood Inlay (tarsia) is an ancient and most difficult art,
a decorative composition obtained by cutting, inserting
and assembling different colored pieces of wood to create
a design or picture. These pieces are then set into a
surface to create a design...usually level with the surface.
|
|
The art of handmade inlaid woodwork is an old and
noble Italian tradition, typical of Southern Italy, and can
only be performed by the skilled and highly trained
artisans whose craft is handed down from generation
to generation.
