Many Techniques Made Furniture Elegant
From the earliest days when
furniture was first made to sat
isfy a variety of utilitarian
needs, its makers added touches
for beauty. The ancient civiliza
tions used paint and gilt, even
inlays of precious stones and
carvings. The furniture of an
cient Rome was made from
exotic woods and often trimmed
with bronze. Sometimes it was
nielloed with gold or silver. It
was usually the tables that were
adorned with ivory, tortoiseshell
and metals.

By the 16th century, Italy was
making small “fancy” pieces.
However, it was the armorers
not the woodworkers who cre
ated them using inlays of marble
and semi-precious stone.
It was in the late 17th century,
however, that cabinet-making
came into it’s own in Italy in Ba
roque designs. The wealthy and
royalty commissioned cabinet
makers to create elaborate
pieces. Veneering was used,
often of ivory, silver and tor
toiseshell.
During the same period, the
Dutch or Low Country became
expert at parquetry patterns and
floral marquetry. A popular
veneer was ebony.
In Spain and Portugal at that
time craftsmen made
“platersque” inlays that were
