However, even after a hundred years, they have not lost its relevance,giving the planet the spectacular in its beauty items that can beautify the royal chambers. The very fact the best place is themarquetry about the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry doors.

- Please show somewhat about you and just how you receive entered an infrequent art form - marquetry.

- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids has long been creative individuals. Based on the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front end in 1943 in Leningrad, he would be a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered among the masters in the commercial the most effective. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands

My desire for various kinds of applied art began in his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it turned out interesting. However a really strong impression on me picture I saw, came once to go to an associate. It absolutely was a little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from pieces of different kinds of wood and composed like a mosaic, in a unit. I then was surprised, wherever possible, only using natural wood with no colors, make game of color and texture to select ??? Only years later Ilearned that it was my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone include the a number of decades would be to learn this art and master it toperfection.

- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today your situation has evolved or wooden inlay isstill only available towards the elite?

- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia meet the expense of only very rich people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich along with the court nobility. I do believe that today the problem has not changed. True inlay available remains to be merely the elite, butnew technologies allow to produce simplified types of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. It is obvious that theproduct wear stream, won't be the masterpieces with the highest level.

- You know, el born area received the highest flowering of art in Europe is different than a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?

- Growth and development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely from the development of this art in numerous Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, i think, is caused by the lack of a unified style, some sort of layering, that was the hallmark of the type of art in Russia. We had been able to take in the best of the setand create something of their diversity.

- In tsarist Russia unit could only cope with marquetry, this sort of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,capable to create masterpieces away from wood?

- Thus far, the actual masters, capable to create masterpieces of wood - one, as this type of art requires perseverance, attention,knowledge of various varieties of trees, a feeling of taste, style and skill to get a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry might be called from the names of everyone that's considered a professional in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, its personality.

- So far as today, popular products, produced in the appearance of marquetry? All things considered, they may be similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly along with modern design.
