intarsia
You learn something everyday. Today, I just learned something about intarsia, an art form based on wood. It is made from a collage of carved wood pieces glued together to form a different kind of sculpted art piece. Wood pieces are fashioned from different kinds of wood whose varied colors provide the dimension that makes intarsia very unique. This can also be achieved by staining wood to the desired depth.
Not a lot of people know about the art. The wooden art of intarsia was believed to have started in Italy. It was mostly owned by the rich because the detailed carving and finishing made it a rather expensive work of art. Elaborate pieces were found in the old homes of prosperous people. If you are looking for a unique home décor to hang in your wall or to gift a wood lover, this is it.
