Straw marquetry

Straw marquetry

 

Straw marquetry is a decorative art form that involves using straw, often dyed in various colors, to create intricate patterns and designs. The straw is typically split, flattened, and glued onto a surface to form geometric or figurative motifs. This technique is similar to traditional wood marquetry, where different wood veneers are used to create patterns. Straw marquetry has been used to embellish furniture, boxes, and other objects. It requires precision and skill to achieve detailed and visually appealing results.
