Marquetry
is the art of creating intricate designs by fitting together individually cut
pieces of thin wood, ivory, metal and other materials.
Paula
says - "I'm always on the lookout for high quality boxes for my own jewelry,
so when I spotted some MarqArt boxes on one of our recent trips I had to have
a horse box, a bison box, a moose box! The designs, detail and workmanship just
bowled me over! I looked up MarqArt and was surprised to find they are located
here in beautiful northern Colorado! The boxes are handmade and the inlay tops
are amazing works of art. Each wood has its own unique grain pattern and color
and the woods used are identified in detail by a card enclosed within the box.
Proudly made in Windsor, Colorado, USA."
