The skill of marquetry (inlaid wood) became known 100's of years ago. However, even after one hundred years, it's not lost its relevance,giving the globe the astonishing in their bath and body goods that may beautify perhaps the royal chambers. The fact the area has become themarquetry on the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of marquetry portraits.

- Please tell us somewhat with regards to you and the way you will get started in a rare art form - marquetry.

- I used to be born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids is definitely creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was obviously a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered one of many masters in the business one of the better. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands

My love for different types of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it had been interesting. However a really strong impression on me the photo I saw, came once to see a friend. It absolutely was a smaller operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of different kinds of wood and composed being a mosaic, in a unit. I quickly was surprised, wherever possible, using only natural wood minus the colors, make the bet on texture and color to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned it's my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be 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 your situation has evolved or wooden inlay isstill only obtainable for the elite?

- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very rich people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I do believe that today your situation has not changed. True inlay available remains exactly the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified types of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. There's no question that theproduct placed on stream, should never be the masterpieces in the highest level.

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

- Continuing development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely for this progression of this art in several Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my view, is caused by having less a unified style, a type of layering, that has been the hallmark of the type of art in Russia. We had been capable of soak up the best of the setand create something with their diversity.

- In tsarist Russia unit could only take care of marquetry, this kind of art require special knowledge and talent. The amount of artists today,capable to create masterpieces away from wood?

- Thus far, the true masters, able to create masterpieces of wood Body, simply because this type of art requires perseverance, attention,knowledge of various types of trees, the sense of taste, style and talent to post a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare attached to marquetry might be called through the names of everybody that's considered an expert in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, its own personality.

- So far as today, popular products, stated in the appearance of marquetry? In the end, they're more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly coupled with modern design.
