Ale marquetry (inlaid wood) became known 100's of years ago. However, even with a hundred years, it's got not lost its relevance,giving the planet the spectacular in the beauty products that could beautify the royal chambers. The actual fact the area is themarquetry for the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry chairs.

- Please tell us a bit of you and how you will get began in an infrequent art form - marquetry.

- I had been born in Sokol, Vologda region, my loved ones is definitely creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered one of many masters available among the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands

My love for a variety of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it was interesting. However a really strong impression on me the image I saw, came once to see a friend. It had been a tiny operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of kinds of wood and composed as being a mosaic, within a unit. Then I was surprised, whenever possible, using only natural wood without the colors, make the game of texture and color to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned that it was my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone are the a few years decades is to learn this art and master it toperfection.

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

- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very rich people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and also the court nobility. I think that today the specific situation has not yet changed. True inlay available remains exactly the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified kinds of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. It is obvious that theproduct placed on stream, should never be the masterpieces with the highest level.

- Everbody knows, el born area received the highest flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?

- Growth and development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely associated with the continuing development of this art in numerous Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, for me, is because of having less a unified style, a kind of layering, which was the hallmark with this type of art in Russia. We had arrived capable of take in the very best of the setand create something of the diversity.

- In tsarist Russia unit could only cope with marquetry, this type of art require special knowledge and talent. The amount of artists today,capable of create masterpieces from wood?

- To date, the real masters, capable to create masterpieces of wood - one, because this form of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with the different varieties of trees, the experience of taste, style and skill to grab a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare fond of marquetry may be called through the names of everyone who's considered an experienced in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, its very own personality.

- So far as today, popular products, produced in design for marquetry? After all, these are more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly combined with modern design.
